Yuzvendra Chahal, one of the unluckiest players in international cricket, spends the entire year with the Indian side but is unable to compete at the crucial ICC tournaments. Surprisingly, the selectors chose the untested Varun Chakaravarthy to replace the leg-spinner in the 2021 T20 World Cup roster. Chahal competed in the 2022 T20 World Cup, however he was not given a game.
It appears that Yuzvendra Chahal will be unable to participate in yet another ICC competition, this time the ODI World Cup, which starts on October 5. India will compete in the Asia Cup before the World Cup, which begins on August 30. Chahal’s unexpected exclusion from the team came after top selector Ajit Agarkar said they were monitoring the side’s balance.
It is thought that Axar Patel, a member of the team, was chosen before Chahal because of his superior batting skills. It’s not the end of the road for the seasoned spinner, according to captain Rohit Sharma, who also noted that when the World Cup roster is officially published, he might find his way back in.
The selectors made it plain that they were looking past their former teammate by leaving him off the Asia Cup roster, according to former South African batter AB de Villiers, who played a lot of cricket with Chahal while they were teammates at Royal Challengers Bangalore. Chahal was praised by De Villiers for his abilities and for his potential value to India had they chosen him.
“Chahal has been dropped, and the selectors have made it obvious who they will be choosing. It’s a little upsetting for me because Yuzi is always extremely helpful and it’s fantastic to have the option of leg spinning in your team. De Villiers stated on his YouTube channel, “We know how skilled he is.
On September 2, India will face Pakistan at Pallekele to open their Asia Cup campaign.
