"Why we are saying or thinking that it is the end of the road"- Harbhajan Singh on Yuzvendra Chahal playing for India in the future
Former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh recently expressed displeasure over the selectors' decision not to include Yuzvendra Chahal in the Indian white-ball cricket squads.
Singh revealed that he has not seen a better leg-spinner than Chahal and opined that the reasons behind his exclusion from the Indian team are a mystery to him. In an interview with the Times of India, Harbhajan Singh said:
"Why we are saying or thinking that it is the end of the road for Chahal? In fact, till now, I have not seen a better leg-spinner or a leg-spinner with a bigger heart than him. I am talking worldwide, not just in India. Ye gutthi hai jo sulajhne ka naam nahi le rhi (why he is not a part of the team is still a mystery)."
He added:
"It would be great if Kuldeep and Chahal play together. Both are experienced players. The pair has done wonders for India. Kuldeep has been very good. He has been taking wickets in every match. He has got the confidence he needs. Now he feels he is where he wanted to be."
