Team India leg spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal, is making the most of his time away from the game. The cricket star is rejuvenating himself with a vacation in Miami alongside his wife, Dhanashree Verma.

Notably, Yuzvendra Chahal failed to make it to India's squad for the upcoming Asia Cup 2023. The crafty spinner was overlooked as the national selectors gave the nod to the in-form Kuldeep Yadav over him.
Chahal was last seen in action during India's five-match T20I series against Ireland. He bagged five wickets in as many appearances. While he was also part of the Men in Blue side for the three ODI matches of the tour, he was benched throughout the series.
"Bit of a disappointing drop for me as well" - Ab de Villiers on Yuzvendra Chahal's Asia Cup 2023 snub
Reacting to India's squad for the Asia Cup 2023, former South Africa captain Ab de Villers expressed disappointment over the exclusion of Yuzvendra Chahal.
De Villiers pointed out that Chahal can be a very useful option with is leg-spin and is a smart operator. Speaking about the senior bowler's non-selection, he said on his YouTube channel:
"It is a bit of a disappointing drop for me as well. I think Yuzi is always handy with that leg-spinning option. We know how skillful and smart he can be. But the decision has been made and it is what it is."
