India vs Australia: Chahal creates unwanted record, concedes most runs for an Indian spinner in ODIs
Powered by knocks from Aaron Finch and Steve Smith, Australia went on to score 374/6 in their allotted 50 overs. While Finch and Smith scored hundreds, David Warner and Glenn Maxwell also contributed as Australia batsmen took the Indian bowlers to the cleaners.
Chahal conceded 89 runs in his 10 overs against Australia in the first ODI at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) in Sydney. Interestingly, the spinner broke his own record of conceding 88 runs in an ODI. Chahal had conceded the most number of runs by an Indian bowler in a World Cup match against England in 2019.
Here are the five most costliest spells bowled by Indian spinners in ODIs:
♦ Yuzvendra Chahal – 1 for 89 in 10 overs vs Australia in 2020
♦ Yuzvendra Chahal – 1 for 88 in 10 overs vs England in 2019
