I changed my seam position: Yuzvendra Chahal

Moreover, the right-arm leggie was named Player of the Match and shared a few words in the post-match presentation. "I bowled a lot of sliders and bowled quicker in the previous matches.

Today, I changed my seam position. Spinning and getting the ball to dip are my strengths. Today I tried to get it to turn and bowl slower. I tried to bowl to my strengths, I focused on that," Chahal was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.

"When batters try to reverse-sweep, it becomes tough for the bowlers. But now I have a second plan and set fields accordingly. I didn't bowl well in the previous game, the coach asked me to back my strengths. The ground there (Rajkot) is bigger (*chuckles*)," he added.

Besides, during India's inning, Ruturaj Gaikwad looked comfortable against Anrich Nortje and smashed him back-to-back boundaries in the fifth over of the game. However, the right-arm pacer bowled a quick bouncer and the Ruturaj Gaikwad was quick enough to respond and survived it.
