Yuzvendra Chahal’s exclusion from India’s Asia Cup squad has created a buzz, with former players condemning the selection committee’s decision to axe the leg spinner.
Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh, now a popular cricket YouTuber, voiced his disappointment at Chahal’s snub. Harbhajan stressed that the national team will miss the 33-year-old player during the 2023 Asia Cup.
Do you feel that the team lacking Yuzvendra Chahal will deny fans watching Asia Cup fan craze moments? Harbhajan certainly does. On his YouTube channel, he said no Indian spinner in white-ball formats came close to Chahal’s genuine spin despite his recent dip in form.
Harbhajan highly rates Yuzvendra Chahal and says it is crucial to include him in the Indian Squad for the ICC ODI World Cup on home soil.
The former India spinner acknowledges Chahal’s subpar performances in his recent matches, accepting his exclusion from the squad you’ll see as you watch Ind vs Pakistan in USA.
However, Harbhajan felt Chahal’s inclusion in India’s Asia Cup squad could have boosted the player’s self-assurance, averting the pressure to perform until he’s at his best.
Though you’ll miss Yuzvendra Chahal as you watch Asia Cup Live in USA, the Indian skipper, Rohit Sharma, hinted at the possibility of including the India spinner for the upcoming ODI World Cup in October.
He also extended the same sentiment to Washy and Ashwin, the other key players who won’t feature at the Asia Cup 2023, including the much-awaited Ind vs Pakistan fixture.
