Yuzvendra Chahal is hailed as one of the most talented bowlers in the world. He has had a fairly successful career for the Indian cricket team in limited-overs cricket.
After having made his debut for Team India in 2016, Chahal has become an integral part of the Indian squad. He has played 72 ODI matches and has taken 121 wickets, while he has picked 91 wickets in 75 T20is. Chahal is India’s most successful bowler in the shortest format of the game. He has also been one of the top performers in the IPL.
Yuzvendra Chahal Shares His “Biggest Pain”
Despite his brilliant performances in the limited format and the number of records under his name, Chahal regrets not being able to wear whites and represent the Indian cricket team in the longest format of the game.
He has not been able to get the nod to start for Team India in Test cricket since India has been well served by Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav in the recent past.
Speaking about the same, Yuzvendra Chahal revealed that he still has ambitions of playing Test cricket for the country. In a recent interview, Chahal revealed that he still hoped to play red-ball cricket for India. He stated that every cricketer has a dream of representing their team on the international platform and playing red-ball cricket.
“I have achieved a lot in white-ball cricket, but red-ball is still on my checklist. I still have the dream of getting the tag of ‘Test cricketer’ next to my name. I try to give my best in domestic and Ranji games so as to fulfill this dream of mine, and I hope to get the opportunity of representing the Indian Test team soon,” Chahal said in an interview with Crictracker.
Further, Chahal also discussed his ambition of playing in the T20 World Cup, which is scheduled to take place next year. He said:
“Selection is something that is not in our hands. Whether you’re playing or not, once you wear the blue jersey and be a part of the squad, it always gives you a sense of confidence. At least you’re there, and have to be ready for whatever is coming next,”
