The way bowlers were coming hard at him, and that too with the movement they were getting from off the pitch, it surely was not an easy wicket to bat on. But the left-hander applied himself very well and after an hour or so he started getting the confidence of making it big on the day.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Chawla has previously played for Essex and he is bringing all his experience into play for Somerset this season. Since the past couple of years, he has worked on his batting and he believes that doing something good in alien conditions and that too in every department possible will not only make his chances bright, but will also instil a self-confidence for the tough situations.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Apart from his batting skills, his bowling was also quite handy as he bagged three wickets of Somerset with his leg-spin. Chawla is channelizing himself to go step by step and if he keeps performing the way he is in the English conditions, he might make comeback to the national side soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-17185\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/piyush-chawla-2011-1-10-11-41-3.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" alt=\"Piyush Chawla slams a hundred and Gautam Gambhir fails against Gloucestershire\" style=\"margin-right: 6px; margin-left: 6px; float: left;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/piyush-chawla-2011-1-10-11-41-3.jpg 200w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/piyush-chawla-2011-1-10-11-41-3-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>Even as Gautam Gambhir failed yet again in County Cricket, Piyush Chawla again proved his worth by slamming a ton at Lord\u2019s and took his side Somerset from a very dodgy situation of 7\/211 to a dominating score of 9\/417 against Middlesex on Day 2 of the of a Division One first-class match at Lord&#8217;s on Thursday.
