IPL 2021: Swann impressed with Chahal form in second phase, doesn’t want to be in team facing the leggie

The
RCB
leg-spinner
Chahal,
who
was
not
included
in
India’s
T20
World
Cup
squad
for
the
upcoming
showpiece
event
to
be
hosted
in
Oman
and
UAE,
has
been
in
sublime
form
in
IPL
2021
especially
in
the
UAE
leg.

After
claiming
only
4
wickets
in
the
first
phase,
Chahal
has
returned
to
his
best
and
added
11
more
wickets
in
the
UAE
leg.
And
the
Swann,
who
praised
Chahal
for
his
performances,
said
he
is
glad
he
is
not
in
the
team
that
will
face
the
leg-spinner.

“Yuzi
Chahal
has
bowled
beautifully
since
RCB
has
been
back
in
the
UAE.
He’s
picked
up
his
performances,
he’s
shrugged
off
the
fact
that
he’s
been
left
out
of
the
Indian
team
for
the
World
Cup,”
Swann
said
on
Start
Sports’ Select
Dugout.

“And
thank
the
lord
that
he
is
because
I
don’t
want
to
be
in
an
English
team
that
plays
against
India
with
Yuzi
Chahal
in
it.”

Chahal
who
is
currently
with
RCB
in
the
UAE
has
played
a
crucial
role
in
the
franchise
qualifying
for
the
play-offs.
In
the
ongoing
IPL
2021
season,
Chahal
has
taken
15
wickets
in
13
games
and
is
RCB’s
second-highest
wicket-taker
behind
Harshal
Patel.

While
Chahal
has
been
left
out,
Rahul
Chahar
and
Varun
Chakravarthy
are
the
leg
spinners
named
in
the
India
squad
for
the
T20
World
in
UAE
and
Oman
which
gets
underway
from
October
17,
with
the
final
to
be
played
in
Dubai
on
November
14.

Will
India
add
these
3
players
to
ICC
T20
World
Cup
squad
after
successful
IPL
2021?

Team
India
will
begin
their
campaign
on
October
24
against
arch-rivals
Pakistan.
There
is
reportedly
still
a
chance
that
the
selectors
may
alter
the
squad
before
the
tournament
with
a
few
players
showing
poor
form.

Chahal
will
look
to
further
prove
a
point
when
Royal
Challengers
Bangalore
will
be
in
action
later
today
against
Delhi
Capitals
at
the
Dubai
International
Cricket
Stadium
in
Dubai.
