Yuzvendra Chahal (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former Indian cricketer Venkatapathy Raju has given such a statement on Yuzvendra Chahal being excluded from both T20 and ODI format teams for India’s upcoming Sri Lanka tour, which has started a war again. It is worth noting that due to Chahal not being given a chance in the team for a long time, this matter has become a topic of discussion in the cricket world. Talking about this, Raju said that Chahal is a great bowler, but the team is currently focusing on all-rounders. Due to which players like Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel were given preference over Chahal, who is also a specialist bowler and batsman. Raju said that because of these all-rounder players, it is becoming very challenging for any specialist bowler to secure a place in the playing 11. As quoted by the Times of India, Venkatapathy Raju said- “You should always believe in yourself. Chahal has been a fantastic bowler. But unfortunately, we focus more on all-rounders. That’s why we had Jadeja, then we had Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. If Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja are part of the squad then you cannot keep them away from the playing 11.” “Yuzi is a fantastic bowler, but he got dropped because he hasn’t played enough matches. It’s not like you’re getting old or anything is taken away from you. You can always play good matches, come back and perform well. Now, the biggest problem for all selectors is that there is so much variety in choosing players now.” “It takes real courage to pick someone with such a variety. Hopefully he will play a lot of domestic cricket and come back stronger.”

After failing in IPL, Hardik no longer gets respect in Team India, former Sri Lankan cricketer gave a shocking statement
After Gautam Gambhir became the new coach, Hardik had to lose the captaincy of the Indian team in the T20 format. Hardik Pandya (Photo Source: BCCI) About a month ago, when the Indian cricket team won the title of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, Hardik Pandya was the vice-captain of that team India. However, after the departure of Rahul Dravid and Gautam Gambhir becoming the new head coach of Team India, Hardik has lost the captaincy of the T20 format. The Indian cricket team management has shown faith in experienced Suryakumar Yadav instead of Hardik Pandya, which is considered to be the beginning of a new era for Surya and Gambhir. Along with this, the responsibility of vice-captaincy has been handed over to young Shubman Gill. So, when Mumbai Indians made Hardik Pandya the captain in place of Rohit Sharma in a dramatic manner before the start of IPL 2024, it was not liked not only by cricket experts but also by MI fans. Whenever Hardik came to the field to toss or bat, he had to face boos. So Mumbai Indians could not do anything special under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya and finished the tournament at number 10. On the other hand, now Hardik Pandya will be seen playing on India’s tour of Sri Lanka from July 27. But before the start of this tour of Team India, a big statement of former Sri Lankan cricketer Russell Arnold has come to the fore. Russell Arnold made a big statement Let us tell you that before India’s tour against Sri Lanka started, Russell Arnold, as quoted by Sports Tak, said – Both (Surya and Hardik) are exceptional players. They bring different things to the team. Suryakumar Yadav is one of the best T20 batsmen. The way he plays, it seems that no one reads the game better than him. Arnold further said- Hardik has also shown these things. But I think that after the way his IPL 2024 went, he has not been able to get the kind of respect in Team India, which BCCI must have thought about him at one time.
