Couldn’t Eat Dinner The Day of T20 World Cup Snub

Yuzvendra Chahal never saw this coming. He was having his dinner when he got the news that he has been axed from India’s T20I squad for the 2021 ICC T20 World Cup. Chahal was having a great IPL and was sure that he would make it to the playing eleven. But here he was, not even in the fifteen! Speaking to RCB podcast, he revealed that he was having his food, but couldn’t finish it when the news broke.

“The team was supposed to be announced at 9:30 and then it got delayed by a bit. I swear I did not know that my name wouldn’t come. When the list came, I did not say anything to anyone for a few minutes.”

“My wife was asking me about the announcement and I sent her the screenshot. The dinner had arrived, but didn’t feel like eating anything that night. Felt very low as I wasn’t dropped even once for five years,” Chahal told on RCB Podcast
