Yuzvendra Chahal, a wrist spinner, has become well-known in limited-overs cricket in recent years. However, because to his absence, many people were taken aback when BCCI Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar recently announced India’s roster for the next Asia Cup 2023.
Several players, including KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer, who had successfully recovered from injuries, were part of the 17-member team that was announced on Monday. One exclusion stood out among the assortment of joyful returns: Yuzvendra Chahal.
Chahal’s cryptic post can be read as an attempt by the spinner to project an air of hope. In 2018, Rohit Sharma, the current captain of India, tweeted messages of support after being removed from the Test team. The adage “the sun will rise again soon” seems to sum up Chahal’s point well.
The latest IPL 2023 performance by Yuzvendra Chahal has raised the speculation surrounding his exclusion. Chahal has a 20.57 average with 21 wickets from 14 innings at the IPL. With an astonishing total of 187 wickets, this outstanding effort even catapulted him to the top of the list of highest wicket-takers in IPL history.
