Course Description
With the T20 World Cup in the Middle East, where wickets were expected to be slow and dry, India shocked the roost with the selection of Rahul Chahar over Yuzvendra Chahal. Now it would have been a shock if Chahal had performed consistently for India over the past year but his fading form combined with Chahar’s consistent display tilted the selection in the latter’s favour.
If the second half of the 2021 Indian Premier League was never played, the doubt over Chahar’s selection would never have popped up. But as it did pop up, Indian skipper Virat Kohli reaffirmed that it was a tough call between Chahal and Chahar but the latter earned his selection via what he had to offer for the national team.
"We had a discussion over Yuzvendra Chahal and the selectors thought we need a bowler, who can bowl fast, and as we have recently seen Rahul Chahar bowling, the speed that he bowls with. The selectors thought that we need such a player, who can on those wickets, can hold and more speed, and so, there was a lot of discussion about Chahal, but we zeroed on Rahul Chahar," Chetan Sharma clarified in the press conference after the T20 World Cup squad selection.
