Fast bowler Duanne Olivier was the wrecker-in-chief as he claimed six wickets to trigger the India collapse after the hosts resumed at overnight 322 for four.

The former India captain said the leg spinner has the skills and has been given the chance to prove himself in the ongoing 'A' series against South Africa.

However, it was a toil for the India A bowlers on the final day as it took them 88.5 overs to get the final six wickets.

It is widely believed that Chahal is being kept match-ready as the selectors have named senior squad for only three Test matches in England.

There is a school of thought that Ravindra Jadeja will be slowly eased out of the longer version if Chahal is able to show his skills in the four-day games.

This is not the first time that Indian players have been compared to animals by English commentators.

Chahal felt that unlike England innings when there wasn't much assistance for slow bowlers, the Lord's track helped home team spinners Rashid and Ali.

Dhoni was widely criticised for not showing initiative in his 37-ball 58 as India could only manage 236 in 50 overs after England posted 322 for seven.

"As clinical as it can be," Kohli described India's eight-wicket win in Nottingham that helped them take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

In an exclusive chat, former Team India skipper and IndiaTV's cricket expert and analyst, Sourav Ganguly, decoded what went wrong for the Men in Blue and how they can fight back to clinch the series.

The Men in Blue now have the chance to wrap up the T20I series early on this tour and another win in Cardiff will give them an unassailable 2-0 lead.

Chahal said he will look to repeat his heroics in London when his team takes on England in the first T20I of the three-match series at the Old Trafford, Manchester, on Tuesday.

India demolished Ireland by 143 runs to clinch the two-match T20I series 2-0 at The Village, Dublin.

Skipper Kohli, Pandya, Rahul, Dhawan and Karthik were seen enjoying a sunny day out ahead of the 2nd and last T20I of the two-match series which India lead 1-0. Take a look. 

Chahal's partnership with chinaman Kuldeep Yadav has been successful and he attributes it to their attacking quality.

The formidable spin duo was full of praises for captain Kohli, saying that he always backs spinners in the team and tries to boost their confidence.

With 43 wickets from 23 ODIs and 35 scalps from 21 T20Is, Chahal is being seen as a vital cog in India's World Cup campaign in UK next year.

The Virat Kohli-led RCB had been in similar positions in the 2015 and 2016 editions but they bounced back to make it to the playoffs.

In the current edition of the Indian Premier league, leg-spinners have been largely successful with Mumbai Indians' rookie Mayank Markande shining in the first three games for his franchise.

Khan (19) plays for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the ongoing Indian Premier League and has so far picked up two wickets in three games in the cash-rich league.
