There is very little time left for the start of the 17th season of IPL. It is noteworthy that the upcoming tournament is starting from March 22. The first match will be played between defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore at the M Chidambaram Stadium.

However, before the start of this match, experienced Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who plays for Rajasthan Royals (RR), has made a big prediction and announced the name of the player who will win the Orange Cap in the upcoming season.

Yuji Chahal made a big prediction

Let us tell you that when Yuzvendra Chahal was asked the name of the winner of the Orange Cap in the upcoming season on his YouTube channel (Joker Ki Haveli) along with e-sports streamer Gulrez, he first took his own name, but after that he became serious. The names of his teammates Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler have been taken.

Also, when he was asked to name the player who took the most wickets, he took his own name and placed the name of Rashid Khan of Gujarat Titans at second place.

It is noteworthy that Yuji Chahal was bought by Rajasthan Royals for Rs 6.5 crore in the 2022 mega auction from RCB. Since this season, he is continuously seen playing for Rajasthan. So it will be worth watching that how is Chahal going to perform in the upcoming season?

Chahal out of BCCI central contract

It is noteworthy that recently the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had released the list of central contracts. Let us tell you that along with experienced Indian players Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara, Yuzvendra Chahal has also not been included in this list.

So after Chahal was out of the central contract, Aakash Chopra had said through his YouTube channel that this decision of BCCI shows what they are thinking now.
