Yuzvendra Chahal Explains 2023 World Cup Omission and Team Strategy
Yuzvendra Chahal revealed that then-captain Rohit Sharma informed him of his exclusion from India's 2023 ODI World Cup squad due to the team's preference for deeper batting and an additional fast bowler. Despite being a leading spinner in white-ball cricket, Chahal missed the tournament and did not play in the 2024 T20 World Cup, though he was part of the squad. He credited Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for supporting his return to the team and reflected on his career challenges and ambitions.
