The Indian spin wizard Yuzvendra Chahal is well known for his close friendship with Rohit Sharma. The India leggie played for the Men in Blue under Rohit’s tutelage and learned a lot of trades and advice from him.
Players have reacted to Rohit’s sudden removal as the Mumbai Indians captain in a number of ways, with Chahal being the most recent to do so. The leg spinner for the Rajasthan Royals has altered the picture that shows up on the social media platform “X,” which was formerly Twitter, to a picture of Rohit embracing him tightly during an India game.
The Mumbai Indians’ new leadership has angered the team’s ardent supporters, and Mumbai has been subject to a great deal of criticism on social media as a result. However, legends like Sunil Gavaskar believe it’s the right move and could eventually help the team.
Yuzvendra Chahal backs Rohit Sharma:
Speaking on Star Sports, Gavaskar asserted that Rohit hasn’t been lighting up the Indian Premier League as a batsman like he did in the past and that Mumbai hasn’t quite delivered the results they had hoped for in the previous few seasons.
Sunil Gavaskar, “We shouldn’t go into rights and wrongs. However, they made this choice with the team’s best interests in mind. Even with the bat, Rohit’s contribution has decreased slightly over the past two years. He used to score a lot earlier, but in the last two years, they qualified for the playoffs in the last year and finished No. 9 or No. 10 the year before last year, according to Gavaskar.”
In addition, Gavaskar says Hardik is maturing as a young leader. He claimed that the all-rounder’s request is justified by his most recent captaincy efforts for the Gujarat Titans.
The former opener of team India said, “I feel that the decision, they have kept in mind that Hardik is a young captain who has produced results. Gujarat was led by Hardik to the title in 2022 and to the finals twice. With everything taken into account, I believe they have made him captain.”
Cricketer player profile:
Yuzvendra Chahal, a talented leg-spinner with a right arm, debuted in the first class at the age of 19 in an Indore away match against Madhya Pradesh. Despite his lack of first-class experience, he has excelled in the shorter format, which helped him land an IPL contract with the Mumbai Indians in 2011.
He was not given many matches by the Mumbai team, though, and for the 2014 IPL, he was added to the auction pool. For the leggie, it was a blessing in disguise since he was selected by the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), a team he was crucial to their bowling setup.
Chahal played every game in a season for the first time in his IPL career and was one of Virat Kohli’s go-to players in crucial circumstances. He had a great start to the season in the United Arab Emirates, but he struggled to get many wickets when the competition moved back to India. Also, he was, nevertheless, frugal all season long. He was also a candidate for the Emerging Player of the Year title, but Axar Patel ultimately prevailed.
So, this was all about the cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. Also read, Cricketer MS Dhoni plea gets IPS officer 15 days jail!
