CHAHAL AND DHAWAN CREATE T20I RECORD

SYDNEY: Spinner Yuzvendra Chahal became India’s joint-highest wicket-taker in the shortest format of the game after equalling pacer Jasprit Bumrah’s tally on Sunday. Chahal achieved the feat in the second T20I against Australia when he dismissed the dangerous Steve Smith in the 18th over. Bumrah, who has played 50 matches in T20I, has taken 59 wickets at an economy of 6.66 while Chahal has leaked runs at 8.25, having reached the tally in 44 games. Also, opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has become India’s third-highest run-getter in the shortest format of the game after surpassing both former cricketers Suresh Raina and M.S. Dhoni on Sunday. Dhawan now has 1,641 runs in T20Is and is only behind skipper Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
