Interestingly Chahal’s figures were best by any Indian bowler on South African soil eclipsing Yuvraj Singh’s 4 for 6 against Namibia at Pietermaritzburg during 2003 World Cup. The umpires went by the book to call for lunch as 19 overs of Indian innings was possible before the break. South Africa lost 3 wickets for without any runs in the space of 6 balls and never recovered from thereon. Zondo miscued one off Chahal in the 27th over and was caught at midwicket, with Pandya latching on second attempt. South Africa barely crossed 100 in that over, and then Chahal came with another breakthrough, trapping Duminy plumb lbw.
