Yuzvendra Chahal surpasses Javagal Srinath to set a unique batting record

However, despite his best of efforts India could only manage to post a dismal 92 runs on the board in 30.5 overs after Trent Boult's destructive spell of 21/5 in ten overs.

With some exceptional bowling, Boult destroyed the Indian batting line-up, removing Rohit Sharma (7), Shikhar Dhawan (13), Shubman Gill (9), Kedar Jadhav (1) and Hardik Pandya (16).

After bundling out India for 92 runs, New Zealand comfortably chased down the total with 35.1 overs to spare.

He scripted a unique record by becoming the only second batsman to top score in a match for India while batting at the number 10 or a lower position.

Yuzvendra Chahal is undoubtedly one of best spinners India have ever produced.

Chahal came out to bat at number ten and combined with Kuldeep (15) to post a 35-run stand for the ninth wicket bailing out India from an embarrassing situation.

His unbeaten 18 is second to only Javagal Srinath's 43 against Pakistan in 1996 which came while batting at number 10.

But the way he batted in the fourth ODI against New Zealand on Thursday, he not only showcased his hidden batting skills but also set an amazing batting record for the men in blue.

Chahal top-scored with 18-runs off 77 balls against his name where the entire top-order was rattled by some fiery spells from Trent Boult and Colin De Grandhomme.
