In the midst of T20 World Cup 2024, Yuzvendra Chahal gave a big shock to the team, suddenly announced his retirement
Yuzvendra Chahal: The Indian team is currently in the West Indies, where it is playing the Super 8 matches of the T20 World Cup. India's second match in the Super 8 will be against Bangladesh in Antigua on Saturday, June 22. This match will be played at 8 pm according to Indian time. Team India has suffered a setback before this match. Because India's wrist bowler Yuzvendra Chahal has taken a big decision. There is every possibility that he will retire from cricket soon. Let us tell you what is the matter
Yuzvendra Chahal will say goodbye to international cricket!
- It is known that Yuzvendra Chahal plays only white ball cricket for India.
- He has never played Test cricket for India. He made his T20 and ODI debut for India in 2016.
- But he was not given a Test debut. Since then, his performance has been good in both formats, when he made his debut in white ball cricket for India.
- So it was expected that he would play for India in red ball cricket as well. However, that did not happen.
Chahal is an effective player in red ball cricket
- It is not true that Yuzvendra Chahal is not effective in red ball cricket.
- If we look at his first class career, it is fantastic. He has played 35 matches for Haryana, in which he has taken 95 wickets.
- He has achieved the feat of taking 4 wickets thrice and 5 wickets twice.
- Also his best bowling performance is taking 8 wickets and giving 112 runs. This can be understood from the statistics.
- Chahal is also very dangerous in red ball cricket. But despite this, why did he not play Test for India?
- This is beyond comprehension. His chances of playing Tests for India in the future are almost nil.
This is the reason why Chahal can retire
- This is because Yuzvendra Chahal is currently 33 years old. In such a situation, it is unlikely that he will get a chance to play for India.
- Therefore, it would not be wrong to say that Chahal has unofficially retired from Test cricket.
- If we talk about the international career of this wrist bowler, then Chahal has played 72 ODIs and 80 T20 Internationals for India so far.
- Chahal has 121 wickets in his name in ODIs at an average of 27.13, which includes two five-wicket hauls.
- In T20 Internationals, Chahal has taken 96 wickets at an average of 25.09.
