Ignored by Team India, but wreaking havoc in England, attracting the attention of selectors with his strong performance

New Delhi. The Indian bowler who has taken the most wickets for the country in the T20 format has never got a chance to play in a Test match. Yuzvendra Chahal has probably now started working on removing this shortcoming. Yuzvendra Chahal, who is playing county cricket in England, has tried to attract the attention of the selectors by taking 9 wickets for Northamptonshire.

Northamptonshire defeated Derbyshire by 133 runs in the Vitality County Championship. The heroes of their victory were Indian leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and Rob Key. Chahal took 0 wickets in the match and Rob Key took 8 wickets. It was due to the dominance of Chahal and Rob that Derbyshire collapsed for 165 runs in the first innings and 132 runs in the second innings. Northamptonshire had scored 219 runs in the first innings and 211 runs in the second innings.

Now it remains to be seen how much importance the Indian selectors give to this performance of Yuzvendra Chahal because in the last few years he is not considered the right choice for red ball matches. Chahal has not been selected in the team for Duleep Trophy matches, let alone the Test team.

Actually, there are many cricketers in the world who are tagged as specialists of one format. India’s Yuzvendra Chahal is also one such cricketer, who is considered an expert in T20 and ODI cricket. Yuz has played 152 matches for India, but not a single Test match is included in it. Chahal has taken 96 wickets in T20 International matches, which is more than any Indian.
