New Delhi. This cricketer who has created a stir in England is counted among the most successful T20 bowlers of India. He has been a part of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup not once but twice. This bowler also holds the Indian record for taking the most T20 International wickets. But call it luck or coincidence, this 'chess player' is not able to attract the attention of the Indian selectors these days. That too when he has taken 18 wickets in the last 2 matches in England. We are talking about Yuzvendra Chahal, who played his last match for India about 400 days ago.
Leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is currently playing county cricket in England. Chahal is performing brilliantly for Northamptonshire. He has taken 18 wickets in his last 2 matches. Chahal took 4 wickets in the first innings and 5 wickets in the second innings against Leicestershire. In the match just before this, he took 5 wickets in the first innings and 4 wickets in the second innings against Derbyshire. Due to his bowling, Northamptonshire won both the matches by a big margin.
Australia lost after 348 days, England stopped the victory chariot of Kangaroos, last time in the World Cup…
With this performance, Yuzvendra Chahal has once again staked his claim to return to Team India. Chahal is considered a specialist bowler in T20 cricket. India has to play the T20 series from October 6. The Indian team is currently playing the Test series. It is certain that most of the members of the Test team will be rested and players considered specialists in T20 will be given their place. Yuzvendra is a contender for this. Now it remains to be seen whether the selectors give him this opportunity or not.
waiting to record
If Yuzvendra Chahal gets a chance in the Indian team and gets a place in the playing eleven, he can set a record of taking 100 wickets. Chahal has taken 96 T20 International wickets in 80 matches so far. He is India's most successful bowler in this format. If he gets a chance against Bangladesh, he can take his wicket count to 100. That is, he can become the first Indian to take 100 wickets in T20 International cricket.
The final match will be played in August 2023
Let us make one thing clear here that when it is being said that Yuzvendra Chahal has been away from Team India for 400 days, it is about the playing eleven. This means that he has not played for India for about 400 days. However, he was part of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup just 4 months ago. Chahal played his last match for India on 13 August 2023.
