it was not wise decision to bowl chahal against Klaasen who is such good nick and can hit at will. But one would also be tempted to bowl chahal as one miscued shot would have given a priceless wicket of Klaasen and match would have turned in Indias favour. so it was more of fortune or luck that Klaasen got every hit outside ground and could not miscue any shot. See after all it needs only one bowl to get the batsmen out however good the batsmen may be but it is purely a luck of Klaasen and bad luck for Chahal. otherwise Chahal is a good bowler specially in this T20 format.
Kohli's captaincy raised eyebrows towards downfall !! It looked foolishness of kohli to continue bowling when Klassen was hammering him..Also I doubt kohli wanted to gift the match to SA as he did not bat well...it showed on his captaincy. Whenever he performs well, he takes good decisions and wins the match to take MOM or centre of attraction..he is not doing the same when others play well give a solid score to defend. ex., continuing Chahal, not thinking of plan-B (bowling himself or raina), 6th bowler option, not bowling Bhivi 19th over overall body language of Kohli that let it go in f/o of SA...

It all boils down to favoritism. Logic or thinking or assessing the ground realities by Virat ( when fielding ) is badly missing . If i was Virat , i would not have asked Chahal to bowl against Klassen ( lessons from the previous match ), but no, it was not learnt. I had informally told my son that the 2nd match would be won by the Proteas & the result came on the same lines. All this really makes one think, isnt match fixing still alive & doing its job .

You can hammer Chahal only in rain affected matches, where he finds difficulty in gripping the ball. If you are a real hitter hit when the ball is not wet

but KOHLI IS ALSO AN IDIOT. If Chahal gets hammered in rain affected match, then he should be avoided for that particular match!!
chahal has no problem as long as virat is captain. dhoni beleived ashwin. virat came and threw him out. the next captain will surely throw chahal out till then no problem

Chal is much better and deserve to be in the team in place of ashwin as he is taking wkts outside india.
