T20 World Cup 2022: 5 Indian players from T20 World Cup 2021 squad who are dropped this year

4. Rahul Chahar

Picking Rahul Chahar ahead of Yuzvendra Chahal was a big decision that the management took ahead of the last T20 World Cup and the decision failed. In a surprising turn of events, he just played one match in the tournament and was never considered for selection again.

Now, Chahal became the automatic choice for the Indian team ever since the disappointing tournament in UAE. His brilliant performance in the IPL of course added to his resume but it wouldn’t have mattered as Chahal is now considered as the leading spinner in the Indian team. He’s irreplaceable at the moment.

What will bother the team is his form. He had a poor Asia Cup and that needs to change. He is also a like-for-like replacement for Chahar but only better with him being a wicket-taking threat. On the big grounds in Australia, Chahal has the potential to cause damage to all his opponents.
