Watch: Yuzvendra Chahal Raises His Bat After Hitting First-Ever ODI Boundary

England dominated with both bat and ball to beat India by 86 runs in the second One-Day International (ODI) at Lord's on Saturday. However, amidst the gloom, it was Yuzvendra Chahal's stay at the crease that brought back smiles in the Indian dressing room. The incident happened in 48th over of India's innings when leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal came out to bat with Kuldeep Yadav on the other end. Chahal hit England fast bowler David Willey straight down the ground for a boundary. This was Chahal's first-ever boundary in ODIs.

After hitting his first-ever boundary, Chahal raised his bat and signaled towards the dressing room.

The shot received great applause from his team-mates from the dressing room.
