Of late, we came across many youngsters making it into the Indian team and taking the field alongside the legendary players. Meanwhile, the leg-spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal reveals about the dressing culture and a few other interesting aspects.

Chahal quoted the trio in the side has laid a smooth the way for the youngsters to catch up with them any time. He added all the three players had given the youngsters a green signal to speak about everything without any fear.

“This Indian team is a family. The seniors have made sure that none of the young players feels overawed by the names in the dressing room. You can walk up to anybody and tell them what you feel about a certain situation. Be it Kohli Bhai, Rohit Bhai or MS Bhai,” Yuzvendra Chahal quoted to Hindustan Times.

This is very important because unless you feel confident, you cannot deliver on the field. The reason why this team is succeeding that of the vibes we share on and off the field,” he revealed,” he added.

The leg-spinner further added MS Dhoni is like an elder brother to him. He feels Dhoni is someone whom he can share everything with him. He also spoke highly on Shikhar Dhawan, who also makes things easy for youngsters as well.

“We have been guided by him from behind the stumps and that is there for everyone to see. But his role off the field is just as instrumental. He is the big brother who I can walk up to and speak to about my personal life. He is always there and willing to provide you with the best possible solution,” he quoted.
