Yuzvendra Chahal Retires from First-Class Cricket, Aims to Continue White-Ball CareerPreviousNext

Veteran Indian leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has announced his retirement from first-class (red-ball) cricket after a 17-year career, including 49 matches and 148 wickets. Despite his success in limited-overs formats, Chahal never played Test cricket for India, a dream he acknowledged as unfulfilled. He expressed gratitude for his red-ball journey and emphasized his determination to continue competing in ODIs and T20Is, aiming for a comeback in India's white-ball teams.
