India's 2019 World Cup squad members: Where are they now?
Just a month ahead of the 2023 World Cup, it’s time to know about the players who helped Team India reach the semi-final in the 2019 edition of the distinguished ODI tournament.
12. Yuzvendra Chahal
Yuzvendra Chahal spearheaded India’s spin-bowling department with his confident bowling. In his maiden World Cup match, he picked up a four-wicket haul and guided India to a six-wicket win. Pairing with Kuldeep Yadav, he delivered some incredible match-winning moments to the side in the marquee tournament.
The right-arm leggie got a chance to play eight ODIs in the competition and scalped 12 wickets at an economy of 5.97. In the recently announced team for the 2023 World Cup, the team management didn’t select Chahal due to his recent average performances. The 33-year-old was part of India’s ODI team that toured the West Indies in July-August 2023 but didn’t get a chance to play any matches.
In 2021, the veteran has played a couple of ODIs in which he got three wickets at an economy of 5.82. Chahal’s exclusion from the World Cup squad miffed Team India supporters as many of them expressed their anger and disappointment through social media platforms.
