Home Ind vs Aus 2018-19 Yuzvendra Chahal spins his way into record books Yuzvendra Chahal's 6-42 matched Ajit Agarkar's 2004 figures at the MCG which is the best bowling performance by an Indian in Australia. Team Sportstar 18 January, 2019 13:09 IST Yuzvendra Chahal's 6-42 wrecked Australia's batting on a flat pitch at the MCG. - AFP Team Sportstar 18 January, 2019 13:09 IST Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal equalled Ajit Agarkar's record for best ODI figures for an Indian bowler in Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday. He took 6-42 to bowl Australia out for 230. Agarkar's 6-42 came at the same venue in 2004. Playing his first game of the series after replacing Kuldeep Yadav, Chahal triggered Australia's middle-order collapse. The host was never able to recover once Dhoni stumped Shaun Marsh in the 24th over.1Prior to Chahal, no other spinner had ever managed to grab six wickets in an ODI in Australia. 7Chahal's 6-42 is the seventh best bowling performance by an Indian in ODIs. Stuart Binny's 6-4 ( Conceded just four runs and took a six-wicket haul) against Bangladesh in 2014 is in the top place.8The six-wicket haul ranks eighth among the best ODI figures of all-time for a leg-spinner. Pakistan's Shahid Afridi, Afghanistan's Rashid Khan and South Africa's Imran Tahir all have seven-wicket hauls.
