In the T20 match against New Zealand, where the Kiwis were unable to chase down the target and felt bad for their loss, Chahal knew how he would be able to make them cheer up even after it. Therefore, during the time at which players greet each other, Chahal took Daryl Mitchell's bat and went on to greet the other players of the team.
