Yuzvendra Chahal travels to South Africa after sending Haryana into the semi-finals of the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy. The veteran spinner bagged a four-fer as he is set to join the India Cricket Team for the upcoming IND vs ODI matches. After back-to-back snubs from the Men in Blue, Chahal has finally been included in the team for the ODIs.
Chahal has been overlooked by the Indian Cricket Team for quite some time now. He last played for the national colours against West Indies, before the ODI World Cup and the Asia Cup. But now he has got his chance to prove but in the ODI series.
But Chahal has been preparing well behind the scenes. His latest advent in the Vijay Hazare Trophy saw the veteran spinner demolishing Bengal. Chahal 4/37 to help Haryana seal their spot in the semis berth of the tournament. The star who received the Player of the Match award has taken to social media to say he will support his side from South Africa.
“We’ve come this far, let’s get the job done 🙌 Will be rooting for us Haryana, from Johannesburg! 🫶,” wrote Chahal on Twitter.
As the T20 World Cup draws near, it can be understood that Chahal is not in the grand scheme of things as far as the shortest format of the game is concerned. But it is not all over for him. He still has these 3 ODI matches to prove his worth, that too on foreign soil.
Moreover, Yuzvendra Chahal will also get IPL 2024. Should he go on to bag the purple cap like e did 2 seasons back, he will surely give the BCCI selectors a big headache in terms of squad selection.
