In Derbyshire’s Division Two match against Northamptonshire, Indian leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal bowled an incredible jaffa to remove Wayne Madsen, who was looking good at 47 in the first innings.
Chahal was ready for more after taking out Aneurin Donald in the 52nd over of Derbyshire’s innings to claim his first wicket of the match. His following over ended with him giving up two singles. Madsen, who is forty years old, was dismissed by Chahal with the very next ball of the 14th over.
The ball pegged the off stump back after pitching on the leg stump line and turning just enough to avoid Madsen’s willow’s outer edge. In celebration of being dismissed, Chahal, wicketkeeper Lewis McManus, and fellow countryman Prithvi Shaw, who was at first slip, all skidded off.
