Haryana CM Felicitated Yuzvendra Chahal After T20 World Cup Victory
On Thursday, Yuzvendra Chahal, the leg spinner of team India, who was a part of India’s victorious T20 World Cup 2024 team, was felicitated by Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. The Chief Minister felicitated Chahal with a shawl and an idol and congratulated the Indian spinner for their triumph. Chahal was a part of the 15-player squad but didn’t feature in a single match throughout India’s unbeaten campaign.
After securing a spot in the Super 8 on a tricky surface in New York that came to the assistance of pacers, India enforced a change in their playing XI. In the West Indies, where pitches turned out to be duel-faced, Kuldeep Yadav was preferred over Chahal in the playing XI.
The ‘Chinaman’ spinner was brought in place of Mohammed Siraj and produced match-winning performances, picking 10 wickets in five matches at an economy of 6.95. India went on to become the first team to lift the T20 World Cup unbeaten following their triumph over South Africa in the final in Barbados.
