Don’t you think that dropping #Chahal is fine and considering three left arm spinners over a right hand wrist spinner?@BCCI @ImRo45 @imAagarkar could have selected @yuzi_chahal as well in the squad. He has done well in the subcontinent as well. Feeling sad for him#AsiaCup #BCCI https://t.co/4K87egCOvs

Notably, Yuzvendra Chahal faltered in his performance in ODIs this year. Moreover, Kuldeep Yadav’s excellent performance in ODIs led the way for Yuzvendra Chahal’s ouster.

Since the start of 2023, Yadav was marvelous in the 50-over format. In 2023, the 28-year-old spinner has hunted 22 wickets in 11 games so far. He is also the leading wicket-taker for India in ODIs this year. At an economy of just 4.87, Yadav has done a brilliant job in ODIs.
