Alzarri Joseph, bowling brilliantly throughout the match, came to bowl the last and 50th over of the innings and Chahal was on strike in front.

The video of his four is becoming quite viral on social media. At the same time, now after the bat, Chahal will also be expected to bowl amazingly, so it will be interesting to see whether he is able to replicate the performance of the first match here or not.
