Team India leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal can go beyond just spinning the wrong one on the cricket pitch. He can also check-mate his opposition because he is a former chess cham𓂃pion.
After New Zealand’s win over India in the second T20I, it was Chahal’s turn to beat Kiwi spinner Ish Sodhi in a game of chess.
Both the cricketers engaged in a few games of chess in a long flight to Thiruvananthapuram and took on to Twitter sharing tღheir feats.
Chahal was the first one to start the banter on Twitter. He shared a screenshot of the result of their first game after having checkmated Sodhi as he tweeted, “Hard luck my brother.”

Sodhi didn’t give up and instead asked for a rematch.
He tweeted, “Rematch has already happend… fair to say, chess champion for a reason @yuzi_chahal #toogood”
