Yuzvendra Chahal: Team India's head coach Rahul Dravid had made it clear a long time ago that players who show good performance in IPL 2024 will be given preference in the T20 World Cup, which was played on the soil of America and West Indies in June this year. Will go. This trend was also followed in T20 World Cup 2022.

However, this does not apply to Team India's strong spinner Yuzvendra Chahal. He is the highest wicket taker in IPL history. But still he does not get a place in the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup.

Yuzvendra Chahal did not get a chance in T20 World Cup

After Yuzvendra Chahal made his debut in Team India, 2 T20 World Cups have been played. India played one of these in 2021 under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, while the other in 2022 under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. But Chahal was not given a chance in these. The thing to note here is that UG's performance in IPL 2022 and 2021 was excellent.

The right-arm leg spinner took 27 wickets at an average of 19.52 in 17 matches played in IPL 2022 and won the Purple Cap by taking the most wickets in the tournament. After this, in IPL 2021 also he took 18 wickets in 15 matches. But the selectors did not give him a chance.

Preference given to this player

Team India's experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was always given preference over Yuzvendra Chahal. But Ashwin was not successful in taking advantage of it. Also, his IPL career has also not been as good as Chahal. Ashwin has taken 172 wickets in 204 matches played in this Ranga Rang League, whereas Chahal has taken 200 wickets in only 153 matches. No other bowler in IPL history has been able to score a double century of wickets.

This time you may get a chance

It is expected that 33-year-old Yuzvendra Chahal will be included in Team India this time for the T20 World Cup 2024. However, it is difficult for him to get a chance in the playing eleven, because Kuldeep Yadav has been consistently performing well for Team India for the last several months and he will also be the first choice of the team management. At the same time, Chahal has also been dropped from the central contract. Let us tell you that UG played his last match for India against West Indies in August 2023.
