India vs West Indies: Worked on bowling side-arm, googly is my strong weapon, says Yuzvendra Chahal
Yuzvendra Chahal said that he worked on bowling side-arm when he was out of the team and has realized that googly is his strong weapon. India defeated West Indies by six wickets in the first ODI on Sunday after Chahal picked four wickets and Rohit Sharma hit a half-century to lead the hosts' run-chase. Chahal also achieved the milestone of 100 ODI wickets. "It is a nice feeling, my career has seen ups and downs. I have managed to get 100 wickets in ODIs, it is a big moment. Did not think that I will achieve the feat early in my career. I have changed my angles. Other bowlers used to bowl side-arm, so I (toO) worked on that when I was not in the team," Chahal told skipper Rohit Sharma in a video posted on BCCI.TV.

Kohli had decided to quit as RCB's captain weeks after announcing that the 2021 World Cup would be his last as India's captain in the shortest format of the game. In December last year, the prolific right-hander was replaced by Rohit Sharma as India's white-ball skipper and a month later, Kohli decided to quit as Test captain following a 1-2 defeat to South Africa. Kohli, however, was retained by RCB as a player and Agarkar feels it might just be the best thing for RCB if he continues as the leader.
