Yuzvendra Chahal – Starting as an underdog in the year 2017, Chahal soon turned into a need for the Indian team and had almost fixed a place for himself in the limited overs team. His leg spin alone has already seen few of the senior players being dropped from the limited-overs side and the leggie made much sound in 2017.
He emerged as the highest wicket-taker in the year 2017 in the shortest format of the game with 23 wickets. The difference between his tally and Rashid Khan (second highest run scorer) is six, which tells his impact in the year.
