IND vs AFG: The T20 World Cup 2024 is round the corner in June 2024. After the ODI World Cup 2023, India engaged in a 5-game T20 series at home against Australia and a 3-game T20 series away against South Africa. Now, they will face Afghanistan in a 3-game T20 series at home. This will be their final T20 series ahead of the T20 World Cup in 2024. Senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who have been absent from the t20 team since the T20 World Cup 2022, are back for the t20 series against Afghanistan as a dress rehearsal for the World Cup.
Yuzvendra Chahal has again been ignored for the squad, and Ravi Bishnoi has been picked in the side. It pretty much sums up the end of Chahal in T20Is. Chahal hasn’t been picked in the team for the last year or so and Bishnoi has been a wicket-taker and match-winner for India in T20I’s. So, Bishnoi will definitely play in the T20 World cup 2024 and Chahal is set to miss out.
Yuzvendra Chahal, an Indian leg-spinner, has been a consistent performer for the Indian cricket team in T20 Internationals (T20Is). Chahal had made significant contributions with his spin bowling in the T20I format.
Chahal is known for his ability to take crucial wickets and control the flow of runs in the middle overs. His performances in T20Is have been marked by skillful variations, including his deceptive leg-spin and well-disguised googlies. Chahal’s success can be attributed to his astute understanding of the game, strategic mindset, and adaptability to different match situations.
Throughout 2021, Chahal consistently featured in India’s T20I squad, showcasing his effectiveness as a wicket-taking option and a reliable spin bowler. His performances have been crucial in providing breakthroughs during crucial phases of the game, earning him praise from cricket pundits and fans alike. He is India’s highest wicket-taker in T20I’s till now. Fans have reacted on social on Chahal’s exclusion from India vs Afghanistan series.

Not sure what to make of this @BCCI, are we taking T20 WC seriously, in this team where is @yuzi_chahal, @Jaspritbumrah93 and @MdShami11. Too week bowling lineup. Also batting is decent but you need a better captain who can handle Mind games and aggression. https://t.co/SngPTGweXF
