Team India's record-breaking South African Safari

Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal- Most wickets in a bilateral series

The spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal played a massive role in India’s series triumph in South Africa. They have been consistent throughout the series, rattling up the Proteas batting line-up one game after another.

At the Super-sport Park, they established a record of most wickets in a bilateral series among Indian spinners (minimum five matches). The duo took a staggering 33 wickets between them in the six-match ODI series and are currently in the fourth position in terms of this milestone.

Only Sri Lanka (38 wickets in seven ODIs against England in 2014) and Bangladesh (against Zimbabwe in 2009 and the West Indies in 2012- five ODIs each) are above India on this list. Additionally, both Yadav and Chahal have created individual records for most wickets for a spinner in a bilateral series, with 17 and 16 scalps respectively. Quite a remarkable series for the spin twins!
