Yuzvendra Chahal missed on a spot in India’s CT17 squad to England, but almost 1 year after, he is named in the Indian squad for the England tour and India’s new spin sensation is centralizing on making good use of the one-month break after the IPL to make more improvements in his bowling at the National Cricket Academy under Narendra Hirwani before embarking on India’s challenging.
“Before England, we are going to Ireland. The weather is expected to be the same as in England. I have a month left after IPL. I will go to NCA in Bengaluru for training. There I will have a chat with my coach, Hirwani Sir (former India leg-spinner),” Chahal said after RCB’s win over Delhi Daredevils at Delhi on Saturday.
“He (Hirwani) has also played earlier in the UK (for India as well as league cricket). So, I will ask him about the weather and conditions. India A team will also tour first and I have a lot of friends in that team. I will try and find out from them as to how helpful the pitches are and how the bounce is,” he added.
Chahal came to the limelight after delivering for RCB in the past seasons, where he proved economical at M. Chinnaswamy stadium, which is a batsman paradise to score mammoth runs. In the ongoing season he continues to deliver for the Virat -led side and has picked up 10 wickets so far in 11 games with an economy rate of 7.57.
Chahal looks content with his overall performance so far in the IPL.
“If I am not getting wickets, then I am also giving away fewer runs. That means, this year the batsmen are not attacking me that much even though they have seen me more now,”he said.
