One of the biggest news emerging from the cricket world recently has been Yuzvendra Chahal’s exclusion from the ICC T20 World Cup squad of India. Many fans consider Chahal the number one leg-spin bowler in the country. However, the selection committee decided against picking him. Instead, they picked Rahul Chahar in the squad for the mega event.
When asked why the selection committee did not pick Yuzvendra Chahal for the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 squad, chief selector Chetan Sharma had replied: “We had a discussion over Yuzvendra Chahal and the selectors thought was we need a bowler, who can bowl fast, and as we have recently seen Rahul Chahar bowling, the speed that he bowls with, the selectors thought that we need such a player.”
Yuzvendra Chahal now subtly responds to selectors
Yuzvendra Chahal would have been naturally disappointed after being snubbed. He has stated in his recent interviews that he is looking forward to performing well for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the upcoming IPL matches. Meanwhile, Chahal also came up with an interesting tweet while replying to famous Hindi commentator Aakash Chopra on the micro-blogging platform Twitter. Here’s what Aakash Chopra had tweeted:
“Picked a few trends from the first 30 games of #IPL2020 I think most will be valid this time too. 1. Win the toss-bat first 2. Pick genuine pace over medium-pacers 3. Bat cautiously in the PP overs 4. Faster spinners likely to make an impact Agree?” Soon, Chahal replied to him: “Faster spinner bhaiya? #JustKidding” (Faster spinner brother?). His reply has gone viral on Twitter.
Faster spinner bhaiya? 👀👀🤔#justkidding 🤣
