One of India’s most interesting spinners in white-ball cricket, Yuzvedra Chahal, hasn’t discovered breaking into the Indian enjoying XI simple of late. Though Chahal has been part of most of India’s white-ball assignments, most of the time, solely certainly one of him and Kuldeep Yadav has managed to interrupt into the group. While there’s been loads of chatter over Chahal’s non-selection in sure matches, the wrist-spinner is not bothered by his lack of game-time in any respect. When requested concerning the frequent snubs, Chahal gave reporters a agency response, suggesting cricket is a group recreation, in contrast to chess.

“Team combination is our priority and it is not something new,” Chahal advised reporters of the second T20I towards West Indies. “At 7 we typically play Ravindra Jadeja or Axar Patel. Three spinners can only play if the wickets are spin friendly. Kuldeep is bowling really well, he is in a great rhythm and that’s why team is backing him. I keep working on nets so that whenever I get the chance I will grab it.

“I’ve not been enjoying within the final two-three sequence. Previously you’d have seen me enjoying in England or West Indies and Kuldeep (Yadav) was not enjoying then.”

Chahal didn’t get a go in the Indian team in any of the three ODIs against West Indies but found a spot for himself in the first T20I. The veteran spinner said that he is very happy to be wearing the Indian jersey, whether as part of the playing XI or one of the 15 members of the squad picked for the tour.

“We are skilled cricketers. I used to be enjoying after two months, final I performed was within the IPL. It is all concerning the preparation. This isn’t a person sport, you might be enjoying right here on your group. There are instances when gamers has to take a seat out for 2 sequence, so it does not imply that they aren’t a part of the group.

“I am very happy that I am getting to wear the blue jersey every day. I am not sitting at home. I am travelling with the team. I am part of the team. I have played chess, it is an individual game but cricket is a team sport. Out of fifteen people in the squad only eleven can play. In the past few series, when I was playing Kuldeep was not getting the chances,” he defined.
