Intel appoints Santhosh Viswanathan as India region head
Chip maker Intel on Friday said that it appointed Santhosh Viswanathan to head the India region business as its Managing Director (MD).
In the second T20 International match between India and South Africa at SuperSport Park, Centurion, Yuzvendra Chahal achieved an unwanted feat.
On Wednesday, Chahal became top Indian bowler who had conceded maximum runs in a T20I match. He conceded 64 runs in 4 overs with an average of 16 and this is the highest by any Indian bowlers.
The second spot in the list is reserved by Joginder Sharma (57 runs vs England, 2007), followed by Yusuf Pathan (54 vs Sri Lanka, 2009) and Mohammad Siraj (53 vs New Zealand, 2017).

Notably, Chahal was the key player from visitors side in the recently concluded six-match One day International (ODI) series against South Africa that India won by 5-1.
Chahal had taken 16 wickets in the ODI series and in the opening T20I, he finished the match with figures of 1/39 in four overs.
While talking about Chahal at the post match-conference, South Africa batsman, Heinrich Klaasen said that he fancies facing Yuzvendra Chahal.
“I fancy him [Chahal] quite a lot. When I was in amateur cricket, there were a couple of quality leggies at that time. I faced Shaun von Berg at the Titans as well. We always made a joke that I need to finish the other legspinner’s career so he can go up, sometimes it works. Tonight it worked perfectly. I just tried to cash in as much as possible,” Klaasen said.
Heinrich Klaasen also explained the reason why he had chosen Chahal’s over to score big runs.
“It wasn’t planned. But the way the seamers bowled, the cutters, they’ve got very, very good skills as I have said before. I just fancied my chances more against the leggie, had more options against him, so when I got the first two boundaries, I thought this is the over [13th over] I got to target. Maybe if I can get 20-odd in this over,” Klaasen added.
