India National Cricket Team spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has been completely sidelined from the team and it's fair to say that his comeback seems far from away now. From being one of the biggest match-winners to nowhere near the scenes, he has witnessed a great downfall.
Yuzvendra Chahal has a great record in the ODIs. The leg-spinner has picked 121 wickets at an average of 27.13 in 69 ODI innings. In the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, India has picked four spinners in Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, and Washington Sundar.
His file has been closed - Aakash Chopra on Yuzvendra Chahal
"An interesting case is Yuzi Chahal's. He last played in January 2023. So it's been two years for him. It's interesting because Bhuvi would have been expensive and wouldn't have got wickets in the last 10 matches before he was dropped, but Yuzi Chahal's numbers are also very good. He has picked up a lot of wickets and was consistently doing well."
If someone is not in the ODI setup for three years, how can he come? - Aakash Chopra on Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Aakash Chopra also opined that Bhuvneshwar Kumar couldn't have been picked as he hasn't played the format since 2022. He stressed that three years is a long gap and getting him back to the team would've been a backward step. He added:
"If he has not been a part of the team for three years, you guys only would have abused the selectors if they had kept him in the team. Then it would have been seen as a regressive step as to what happened to your other fast bowlers for you to go back to Bhuvi. So there was no place for Bhuvi here."
