Yuzvendra Chahal Attains 'Massive Milestone' In IND vs NZ 2nd T20I - See Pics

Yuzvendra Chahal provided the opening breakthrough for his team by departing New Zealand opener Finn Allen.

By the virtue of this dismissal, Chahal became the highest wicket-taker for team India in T20 Internationals.

The leggie (91* wickets in 75 matches) pipped senior India speedster Bhuvneshwar Kumar (90 wickets) to move to number position in T20Is.

Notably, Chahal sat on the bench for IND vs NZ 1st T20 and also during the ODI series.

New Zealand's Tim Southee (134 wickets in 107 matches) currently tops the elite list of highest wicket-takers in T20Is, followed by Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan (128 wickets) and Afghanistan's Rashid Khan (122 wickets).
