Clean Bowled! Yuzvendra Chahal’s magical delivery leaves Ben Stokes stunned in County Championship — Watch

In a recent County Championship match, Yuzvendra Chahal delivered a spellbinding performance that left Ben Stokes utterly perplexed. During the second day's play at the County Ground in Northampton, Chahal dismissed the England all-rounder for 14 runs in the 47th over. The match, played between Northamptonshire and Durham in Division Two, saw Durham struggling at 187 for six when Chahal bowled the match-winning delivery.

Chahal's cleverly delivered ball came across the wicket, pitching outside off stump and then turning sharply to hit the left-hander's stumps. Stokes, seemingly confident with his decision to defend, found himself unable to prevent the ball from slipping through, resulting in his dismissal. The veteran leg-spinner claimed a total of 4 wickets for 36 runs from 15.2 overs, finishing the match with a commendable economy rate.

Durham's total of 205 in 56.2 overs was put to a swift end, with David Bedingham top-scoring for his side at 81, and Mayank Agarwal contributing 36 runs. Alex Lees, despite his efforts, was also dismissed by Chahal. This match witnessed a continuation of Stokes' recent difficulties against Indian spinners, as he had faced a similar fate at the hands of Sai Kishore in a previous County Championship game against Gloucestershire.
