Asia Cup 2023: Yuzvendra Chahal's Wife Dhanashree Verma Shares A Cryptic Message After Leggie's Snub From India's Asia Cup Squad

Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal’s wife, Dhanashree Verma, shared a cryptic post after the veteran cricketer was excluded from the upcoming edition of the Asia Cup. In her post, Dhanashree Verma raised a question about whether being an introvert could have an impact on career growth.

On Monday, August 21, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the squad for the Asia Cup 2023. Yuzvendra Chahal did not make it into the squad for the continental tournament. Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav were preferred ahead of him as spin bowlers.

Dhanashree Verma took to her official Instagram handle to post a cryptic story a day after her exclusion from the Asia Cup squad. Dhanashree raised the point of whether success requires being extroverted and street-smart.

“Now I have started to question this on a serious note. If being super submissive & introvert can be harmful for your work growth? Or do we all have to be an extrovert & street smart savvy to grow in life?” she wrote.

Chahal represented India in just two ODIs this year and picked up three wickets at an economy rate of 5.83. The right-arm leg spinner was included in India’s squad for the recent ODI series against the West Indies but did not get the opportunity to play.

We Can Fit Only One Wrist Spinner – Yuzvendra Chahal

Ajit Agarkar explained that Yuzvendra Chahal was dropped from the squad because they couldn’t accommodate two wrist spinners in the lineup.

“Terrific performer but we had to look at the balance of the team. To fit in two wrist spinners was difficult. We can fit only one wrist spinner. It’s unfortunate for one to miss out and right now, Kuldeep is a bit ahead,” Agarkar said.

The 33-year-old bowler might not feature in the ODI World Cup 2023, which is scheduled to be played at home between October and November. Agarkar has confirmed that they will finalize the 15-member squad for the World Cup based on performances in the Asia Cup.
