After this, former veteran Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag praised Yuzvendra Chahal’s bowling and said that we want to see him play in the World Cup.
Virender Sehwag said, “Yuzvendra Chahal is a great bowler of T20 cricket. But he did not play the World Cup. The T20 World Cup is about to start, but he is out of the team. He showed his class in IPL and his bowling became the reason for RCB’s defeat. Chahal bowls according to the mind of the batsman and bowls brilliantly. We call Chahal ‘Sukha Bodyguard’. I hope he gets a chance in the upcoming World Cup.”
Chance to become the third highest wicket taker for RR
Yuzvendra Chahal took a total of 2 wickets in the match against RCB, he dismissed Faf du Plessis and then Cameron Green. Chahal will now be seen playing against Gujarat Titans. If he takes 3 wickets in the upcoming match, he will also become the third highest wicket taker for the Rajasthan Royals franchise. Chahal currently has 56 wickets in his account. At the same time, Shane Warne had taken 58 wickets while playing for Rajasthan, who is in third place. If Chahal breaks his record, he will become the third bowler to take the most wickets for Rajasthan.
