WATCH: Chahal gets trolled on Twitter for his 'Neymar' act

Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, who was watching the match, took to his social media account and compared him with the Brazilian footballer

World No. 8 ODI bowler, Yuzvendra Chahal failed to create an impact with the ball in the first ODI against England at Trent Bridge. However, he still managed to trend on social media during and after the game.

In his quota of 10 overs, Chahal leaked 51 runs and managed to dismiss English skipper Eoin Morgan on 19 in the 20^th over. Meanwhile happened an incident which grabbed all the eyeballs.

It happened during the 28^th over, when Hardik Pandya attempted to run Ben Stokes out. Pandya’s throw missed the stumps but smashed into Chahal's right knee. After getting hit, the wrist spinner was seen rolling on the ground in pain, wearing a smile on his face.

Here’s the video:

A few moments later, Chahal got up and went back to his fielding position. But People on social media declared him the ‘Neymar’ of cricket as Chahal’s action resembled to that of ace Brazilian footballer, who put forth a similar act in the FIFA World Cup in Russia.

Brilliant! Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal just got hit on the knee and rolled around on the Trent Bridge turf as if he'd been felled by a sniper - or, in fact, was Neymar! Top class piss-taking! @SkyCricket #ENGvIND pic.twitter.com/1rk7BGoreJ
