Chahal is accurate with his lines and lengths and is known to strangle batters with his variations. Generally used by India in the middle phases of the game, the wily spinner has improved his prowess with the ball in the death overs as well.

Chahal is a bowler with a lot of heart and is unfazed by batsmen trying to take him on. The ace-spinner is an attacking bowler and his aggressive style of bowling will be suited for the big grounds in Australia. His form will be crucial for Rohit Sharma & Co. in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
