Star Indian bowler Yuzvendra Chahal is facing ups and downs in his personal life these days. The news of rift between Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife Dhanashree Verma has been making headlines for the last few days. According to reports, their relationship has reached the point of divorce and a major decision can be taken soon. Both can separate after four years of marriage. Meanwhile, we will tell you about those two people who had a hand in Chahal's success.
Chahal played more than 150 matches for the Indian team and took more than 200 wickets. Yuzvendra Chahal is counted among the famous spinners of the world today. Although initially Chahal used to be a fast bowler. Chahal made this disclosure on Ranveer Allahbadia's podcast. Ranveer had asked him, 'Since childhood, did you want to become a spinner?' On this Chahal said, 'No, earlier I was a fast bowler. I am talking about the time in school when I was 6-7 years old. When we went to school we used to play. And my father was captain in the university for five years. I was a fast bowler and then my father said that I cannot become a fast bowler with this height and physique.
Following his father's advice, Chahal started bowling leg spin. After this, the whole world is aware of what he did in world cricket and IPL. It is noteworthy that Chahal is now the highest wicket taker in IPL. He has 205 wickets in his name in 160 matches.
The second person behind Chahal's success is Mahendra Singh Dhoni. While playing international cricket with Dhoni, Chahal got a lot of help in taking wickets. In the podcast, he was asked that, if your captain is Dhoni and you are bowling, then what is he guiding you? If you have played under his captaincy, how was your experience? On this Chahal had said, 'I have trusted him blindly. Whenever he told something, I used to follow that thing. Many times he said that you just have to bowl the ball on the stumps and do not try anything different. And I got wickets in the very next or the same over. I am also his fan. Chahal further claimed that Dhoni had made his game 50 percent easier while bowling.
