10 Players to watch out for in Ranji Trophy 2015-2016

9. Yuzvendra Chahal:

He sports a spiked up funky hairstyle, carries a brisk, short run that culminates in a rapid rotation of the arms. He was a regular at the Mumbai Indians dug out, cheering and clapping for the men on the field. RCB played their cards well and with Virat Kohli backing the youngster, little could have gone wrong. Chahal, much like Amit Mishra likes to flight the ball up in the air, not afraid to take the risk of getting hit for a six or two.

He finished this year’s IPL with 23 wickets at an average of 18 with an economy rate of 8.9. A former Chess player, he has represented the country at the age-group level in the sport before giving it up for cricket in his teens. The table has turned into a field while the board slipped on the 22 yards, Chahal is full of tricks and strategy. RCB has played a big role so far in shaping up the carrier of this youngster. “Vettori sir tells us not to think about the ball you’ve been hit for. Forget about it and concentrate on the next ball. That really helps in a T20 game. Virat always tells me not to worry about being hit for sixes. He backs me to bowl whatever I want to bowl and keep a big heart.” he said. This domestic season can turn out to be a blessing for Chahal, with India set to play major tournaments, Chahal may well spring some surprise in the spin department.
