Watch: Rahul Dravid, Hardik Pandya Ask Yuzvendra Chahal To Return. Rules Made That Impossible

The spectators at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba were witness to a sort of comedy of errors involving Yuzvendra Chahal and Mukesh Kumar during the first T20I encounter between India and West Indies on Thursday. Kuldeep Yadav was clean bowled by Romario Shepherd on the first ball of the 20th over and with 10 runs needed off 5 balls, Chahal came out to bat.

The 20-year-old Varma, who helped light up the IPL with 343 runs for the Mumbai Indians this season, hit three sixes in his 22-ball innings.

Two of his sixes came in the first three balls he faced from Alzarri Joseph.

His innings ended on the last ball of the 11th over when he was
