In County Cricket, Yuzvendra Chahal Selects A Five-Wicket Haul
In an English County Championship Division two encounter between Northamptonshire and Derbyshire, senior India leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal got five wickets for 45. With his third five-wicket haul in first-class cricket, the Indian white-ball specialist also achieved a personal milestone of 100 first-class wickets during the match. The wiry leg-break bowler, who claimed five wickets (5/14) against Kent in the One Day Cup last month, has found success thus far in the English Summer. In the current game, Saif Zib scored 90 runs in the first innings after Northants batted first and scored 219 runs. Chahal's 5/45 in 16.3 overs and Rob Keogh's 3/65 in response bowled Derbyshire out for 165 in 61.3 overs.
Wayne Madsen, Aneurin Donald, Zak Chappell, Alex Thomson, and Jack Morley were among Chahal's victims.
Prithvi Shaw, Chahal's teammate, contributed 4 and 2 in both innings during another forgettable red ball outing. In his previous three first-class innings, Shaw was likewise unable to score more than 50.
