Indian leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who snared four wickets in the first ODI against the West Indies here, has credited new white-ball skipper Rohit Sharma for the performance, saying the star batsman made him realise that the more googlies he bowled, the more effective his leg-breaks would become.
India won the match by six wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. “We had spoken before the game. The thing which you said before the game, the thing I missed in South Africa, I didn’t bowl more googlies, so it was there in my mind,” Chahal told Rohit in an interview aired on bcci.tv.
