It’s nearly five years since Yuzvendra Chahal made his debut for Team India in an ODI against Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club. During this while, the leg-spinner from Jind, Haryana has established himself as a key member of the Indian team in the limited-overs formats.

With over 150 wickets for the national team in 102 matches, the 30-year-old has turned out to be a genuine wicket-taker for his side. However, of late, he has looked a tad out of sorts. In the T20I series against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/it-is-a-little-concerning-that-there-is-no-leg-spinner-in-the-team-danish-kaneria-on-indias-wtc-and-england-series-squad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">England</a> earlier this year, he got three wickets but gave over 40 runs in two out of three games.

Even in the 2021 Indian Premier League, he didn’t perform to expectations for the Royal Challengers Bangalore as he got four wickets from seven games. The T20 World Cup is scheduled for later this year and his poor form could be a matter of concern for the selectors. But there are bowlers, who could replace him.

In the article, let’s take a look at 3 replacement options for Yuzvendra Chahal going into the 2021 T20 WC:

Rahul Chahar made his debut for India in the 2019 tour of the West Indies. Thereafter, he had to wait more than one and half years to don the national jersey again. The youngster played a couple of T20Is against England back in March and picked up two wickets.

Overall, in the shortest format, the 21-year-old has picked up 78 wickets at an economy rate of 7.39 with a fifer to show for his efforts. In the last couple of years or so, the Rajasthan-born has carried the Mumbai Indians’ spin-attack on his shoulders.

When the IPL was suspended for an indefinite time period, Chahar had 11 wickets to his name from seven matches. In the match against the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2021-kolkata-knight-riders-tim-seifert-tests-positive-for-covid-19/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kolkata Knight Riders</a>, his four-wicket haul helped MI make a comeback. The young leggie has a bright future in the offing with loads of talent.

Ravi Bishnoi came to the fore in the 2020 U19 World Cup in South Africa. Even as the Boys in Blue ended as the runners-up after their defeat to <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bangladesh-to-play-sri-lanka-in-a-three-match-odi-series-at-home-starting-may-23/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bangladesh</a>, Bishnoi dictated terms in the tournament. In six games, the leg-spinner churned out 17 wickets at a frugal economy rate of 3.48.

He also picked up three four-wicket hauls. Soon after it was the Punjab Kings, who secured his services for IPL 2020. He became a regular member of the team, though PBKS couldn’t make the playoffs. In 2021, he had to warm the bench for quite a few matches.

But after he got his chance, there was no stopping him. In four games, the 20-year-old tweaker picked up as many wickets and had a decent economy rate of 6.18. The fact that he improvises his bowling action creates doubts in batsmen’s minds as well.

Rahul Tewatia has been plying his trade in the Indian domestic circuit since 2013, but it was only in 2020 that he came to the limelight. The southpaw smashed <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/new-zealand-vs-west-indies-ball-slips-out-of-sheldon-cottrells-hands-flies-towards-the-short-third-man/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sheldon Cottrell</a> for five sixes in an over at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, helping his team get over the finishing line.

The fact that he has a strike rate of 148.23 over 75 T20 matches shows the amount of damage he can do with the bat in hand. The 27-year-old is more than handy with the ball in hand as he has picked up 44 wickets at a reasonable economy rate of 7.36.

The all-round attributes have made him a key member of the Rajasthan Royals as well. On the back of his shows in the IPL, Tewatia was also called up for the T20I series against England, but he couldn’t take part in the five-match affair after failing the fitness test.
