Yuzvendra Chahal is a leg-spinner who has been a regular member of the Indian team in limited-overs cricket but of late has failed to find a regular spot in the side.
He has been one of India’s most successful spinners in recent years, and his form in the IPL has been exemplary. This has led to former players and pundits calling for the leggie’s inclusion in the upcoming World Cup.
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly, speaking on Star Sports, pointed out Chahal as an important asset for the Indian side and said that the men in blue need to include a wrist-spinner apart from the finger spinners.
“I feel India have to find a wrist-spinner for this World Cup. Jadeja is there, Ravichandran Ashwin is there, Axar Patel is there, who according to me is also an exceptional all-rounder.”
Ganguly also expressed surprise as to how Chahal misses out in the big ICC events. “(Ravi) Bishnoi and Kuldeep (Yadav) are there but (Yuzvendra) Chahal somehow misses big tournaments. He performs extremely consistently in shorter formats, whether it is 20-over or 50-over. It is important to keep an eye on him as well,” he said.
“When you will play Australia, England or South Africa, a wrist-spinner makes a difference in these conditions. In 2011, there was Piyush Chawla, who bowled well,” he added.
