T20 World Cup 2021: 5 players who might make a comeback based on IPL 2021 form
All the teams have time till October 10 for making any changes to their squads.
2. Yuzvendra Chahal
Yuzvendra Chahal’s snub from the Indian T20 World Cup squad was a bit surprising. It is true that leading into the selection period, Chahal didn’t have a good record in the past six months to show. The Indian selectors had to pick only one leg-spinner and Rahul Chahar’s stats in the IPL 2021’s first leg and the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021 was just too good to ignore.
The fact that Chahal didn’t even make it into the reserves is a bit shocking, but since that snub, fans have seen the vintage Chahal. It is quite unfortunate that, after being on top of his game in the international circuit and having played against almost all teams, right before his first T20 World Cup call, he faced a dip in form.
In the second leg so far, he has bowled 14 overs and picked up seven wickets. His economy in the four matches has been 5.57. Interestingly, his return to form has coincided with Rahul Chahar losing his. If Chahal keeps up the good work, we might find him replacing Chahar right before the T20 World Cup.
