India vs New Zealand: Yuzvendra Chahal asks Virat Kohli, KL Rahul if they are 'copying' his shot

India's Yuzvendra Chahal is a highly-skilled bowler, but when it comes to batting, there is no discussion on the same. 

Known to pull the leg of his teammates, this time it was skipper Virat Kohli and KL Rahul's turn.

On Tuesday, the wrist-spinner posted a collage of him holding the bat loosely in the position of the ramp shot along with those of Rahul and Kohli playing the same shot.

“When they are trying to copy my shot. Not bad keep it up youngsters (sic.)” said Chahal in his tweet.

Chahal has been one of Kohli’s biggest assets with the ball, especially in the shortest format.

“We understood the angles of the field better, how the pitch was playing and I had to think on my feet as a captain. The ball gripped for the spinners and I think Jadeja was outstanding. Chahal was a banker. Bumrah was amazing as well, and Shami and Shardul and Shivam making very good contributions with the ball but I think we backed it up in the field more importantly,” Kohli said after India won the second T20I match in Auckland.

Now trying to clinch the series in Hamilton, Indian batting coach Vikram Rathour believes the team is in the perfect shape to adapt and adjust to the different conditions.

“It is more of a mindset thing and about game plan. As a coach, I don’t think we really need to tell them anything. They are doing it on their own. They are stronger, fitter than from our generation. You can see that they are hitting big sixes and without any effort, that way the game has changed,” Rathour said ahead of the Hamilton T20I.
