Don’t Want To Be In A Team That Plays Against India With Chahal In It, Says Swann

Mumbai: Former English cricketer Graeme Swann has heaped praise on Yuzvendra Chahal as the latter is in top form in the second leg of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 in the UAE.

Notably, the Royal Challengers Bangalore leg-spinner was not included in India’s T20 World Cup squad after the national selectors picked the team for the upcoming showpiece events to be organized by the BCCI in UAE and Oman.

“Yuzi Chahal has bowled beautifully since RCB has been back in the UAE — the IPL has been back in the UAE. He’s picked up his performances, he’s shrugged off the fact that he’s been left out of the Indian team for the World Cup and thank the lord that he is because I don’t want to be in an English team that plays against India with Yuzi Chahal in it,” Swann said on Select Dugout.

Chahal who is currently with RCB in UAE has played a key role with the franchise qualifying for the playoffs. Leg spinners Rahul Chahar and Varun Chakraborty are included in Team India’s roster for the T20 World Cup.

In the ongoing IPL 2021 season, Chahal has taken 15 wickets in 13 matches and is RCB’s second-highest wicket-taker after Harshal Patel.

The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in the UAE and Oman will begin on October 17, with the finals to be played in Dubai on November 14. Team India will start its campaign on October 24 against arch-rivals Pakistan.
