Yuzvendra Chahal claims four wickets against Durham
Chahal's 4 for 36 helped bowl Durham out for 205 in the County Championship.
Yuzvendra Chahal took four wickets as Northamptonshire bowled Durham out for 205 in the County Championship. The Indian leg-spinner finished with 4 for 36 on the opening day at Wantage Road. David Bedingham top-scored for Durham with 81.
Seven Indian players were in action across the first and second divisions of the County Championship on Thursday. Chahal's spell came during Durham's first innings after the visitors opted to bat first. Northamptonshire's bowlers restricted the scoring rate throughout the day.
The match continues on Friday with Northamptonshire needing to build a substantial first-innings total. Chahal's performance adds to his case for consideration in India's upcoming limited-overs assignments.

Chahal's consistent returns in county cricket strengthen arguments for his recall to India's limited-overs squad ahead of the T20 World Cup cycle.
