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.
