Sarandeep Singh, a former Indian cricketer, and North Zone selector, believes Yuzvendra Chahal should come forward and reveal the identity of the player who hung him from the 15th floor during the 2013 IPL season.

Sarandeep Singh has stated that this is a major concern that the BCCI should investigate.

“If it happened and Chahal opened up now, he should also reveal the name of the player who did this to him; this was a very serious matter, and the BCCI should look into it right away; a small amount of cuddling between players could happen, but this is a very serious offense; misfortune can happen to anyone, and if his hand was slipped up at that time, just imagine the worst-case scenario.”

“The board should consider this right immediately so that it doesn’t happen to other players “ANI quoted Sarandeep Singh.

“It’s not nice to hide, so it’s vital to come out and declare his name. This is a very significant matter that he has exposed, and a probe will immediately be launched into it. Cricket is a gentleman’s game, and such behavior, while off the field, is extremely harmful and should not be replicated with any other player “Sarandeep Singh Added.

In an interview, Yuzvendra Chahal recalled the incidents:

Yuzvendra Chahal told his Rajasthan Royals teammates Ravichandran Ashwin and Karun Nair about an unpleasant event that occurred during his time with the Mumbai Indians in 2013.

“I was with the Mumbai Indians in 2013.” In Bengaluru, we had a match. Following that, there was a get-together. I’m not going to mention the extremely inebriated player. He was quite inebriated; he stared at me and simply called my name. In a video shared by Rajasthan Royals, Chahal informed Ashwin and Nair, “He dragged me outside and dangled me from the balcony.”

“My arms were wrapped around him. I was on the 15th floor if I had lost my grasp. Suddenly, a large number of people who were present arrived and brought the situation under control. I almost passed out.”

“They offered me water, and it made me realize how responsible you should be whenever you go out. So, I thought I narrowly escaped with my life, this was one event in which I thought I narrowly escaped. I would have fallen if there had been even the tiniest mistake “ Yuzvendra Chahal Added.

Former India batsman Virender Sehwag also took to Twitter, pleading with Chahal to name the player because the event is really serious. The cricket community was stunned by the news, with many demanding Chahal name the player.
