Former Indian Star Yuvraj Singh says, India will miss Chahal in the World Cup
The absence of the veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin from the ODI World Cup 2023 squad of team India had sparked off debates in cricketing circles and among fans on social media alike. India's 2011 World Cup-winning hero, Yuvraj Singh, agrees that India will miss him but says that the team will miss Yuzvendra Chahal more.
In an exclusive interview, Yuvi said, “More than Ashwin, I feel leaving out Yuzvendra Chahal could prove to be a mistake. A leg-spinner is someone who will always take wickets for you. He is always a game-changer. Kuldeep Yadav is bowling really well. He is outstanding right now. But Chahal would have been quite dangerous.
He further said, “With Hardik Pandya playing the role of a third seamer, you could have picked Chahal instead of the fourth seamer.”
An all-rounder who did wonders for India in his playing days, Yuvraj Singh was candid in his assessment of the all-rounders in the current team for the World Cup as he said, “We have Ravindra Jadeja. We have Axar Patel. We have a line-up that is very deep in batting. The team is also looking good because Jasprit Bumrah is back.
