Indian leg-spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal, bowled an absolute jaffa to get rid of Wayne Madsen who was looking good on 47 in Derbyshire’s first innings in their Division Two game against Northamptonshire.

Having secured his first wicket of the game by dismissing Aneurin Donald in the 52nd over of Derbyshire’s innings, Chahal was looking primed for more. He conceded two singles in his next over. The next ball of the very next over, i.e. Chahal’s 14th, brought about the dismissal of the 40-year-old Madsen.

The ball pitched on the leg stump line and turned enough to evade the outside edge of Madsen’s willow, pegging the off stump back. Chahal, wicketkeeper Lewis McManus, and fellow compatriot Prithvi Shaw who was standing at first slip, all glided away in joy to celebrate the dismissal.

That exact over saw Chahal bowl his first maiden of the match, which was successfully capped off with another wicket on the penultimate delivery.

The crafty leggie ended the innings with superb figures of 16.3-2-45-5. With Derbyshire requiring 266 to win the game, it was Chahal who again came to his side’s rescue. The leggie bowled 1.3 overs more and inflicted yet another dominating spell on the opposition, as he picked up a four-wicket haul to grant Northamptonshire a commanding victory by 133 runs.

Madsen, coming in at a score of 26, was left stranded at the other end as he saw the remaining eight wickets tumble. Meanwhile, Prithvi Shaw failed in both the innings of the match, scoring 4 and 2 runs.
