Yuzvendra Chahal eager to play under Rohit Sharma yet again

Team India is all set to take on Sri Lanka in the limited overs series now. They will host the islanders in 3 ODIs and as many T20Is in the next couple of weeks. Legspinner Yuzvendra Chahal is keen on making the most out of the opportunity that beckons in the series to putforth a strong case for the South African series. Chahal, as per the recent quotes in India TV News, mentioned that the current team is very well balanced.

India will not be having the services of regular skipper Virat Kohli since he has been rested. Chahal noted that it would be exciting to play under Rohit Sharma. Also, he cited that the current bunch of bowlers complement the batsmen to a great extent, which has been the key to their success.

“There is more unity in the team as we are all are of almost same age group, every player is aware of their roles in the current team and gels well with each other. The batsmen score enough runs everytime they go out and give ample chance to the bowlers to have a go at the rival batsmen,” quoted Yuzvendra Chahal.

On playing under Rohit Sharma

When asked about the proposition of playing under Rohit Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal pointed out that he had made his IPL debut under Rohit Sharma for the Mumbai Indians a couple of years ago. He stressed on the fact that it would be unfair to compare the captaincy styles of the two cricketers. He, however, noted that the hunger to win matches is the same for both the players.

“I made my IPL debut in 2013 and played my first match in Mumbai Indians under Rohit. Just like Virat bhai, Rohit is also an aggressive captain and likes to lead from the front. We cannot compare the two captains as both have their own style of leading the side but we are aware that they both are hungry for wins. Rohit has done a good job for the Mumbai Indian in the IPL and has led them to victory in the last edition of the IPL as well,” noted the leggie.

Axar Patel speaks on MS Dhoni’s role in the team

Another young spinner who would be keen on cementing his spot in the lineup is Axar Patel. Patel has been in and out of the team depending on the pitch conditions and the team’s strategies in the recent times. Patel, as per the quotes in India TV News, spoke on the importance and role of MS Dhoni in the Indian team. Axar was quick to cite that Dhoni is a big name in Indian cricket. His ability to read the game and analyze the different situations is something that comes in very handy for the players in the side.

“MS Dhoni is a big name in Indian cricket and he had served the country at the highest level for over a decade. His ability to read the game unmatched in world cricket and his experience will come in handy for the team in the series against SL.
