Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal?s parents tested covid positive, father hospitalised with serious symptoms.



Indian spinner and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal?s parents have recently tested covid positive. The news was confirmed by Chahal?s wife and choreographer Dhanashree Verma.



In an Instagram story, Dhanashree said that her father in law, advocate KK Chahal, is admitted to the hospital after severe symptoms while her mother, Sunita Devi, is being treated at home. She also informed that her mother and brother who were earlier tested covid positive are now recovered well.



?April-May. It?s been really tough and emotionally challenging for me. At first, my mother and brother tested positive. I was in the IPL bubble and felt extremely helpless but did monitor them from time to time. It?s really difficult to stay away from your family. Fortunately, they have recovered,? Dhanashree said in her Instagram story.



Further, Dhanashree wrote that she lost her close uncle and aunt due to his dreaded virus recently. ?But I lost my aunt and very close uncle due to Covid and its complications,? she wrote.



?And now my parents in law have tested positive with severe symptoms. My father-in-law is admitted and my mother-in-law is being treated at home. I was at the hospital and I have witnessed the worst. I am taking all the precautions but? Guys please stay at home and take proper care of your family.?



Yuzvendra Chahal was with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for the IPL 2021 before it was halted midway due to the prevailing covid situation in the country. Multiple covid cases were informed inside the bio-bubbles following which the cash-rich league was banned. Dhanashree Verma also accompanied Yuzvendra Chahal for the IPL and was the part of RCB bio-bubble environment.

SLvsIND: A more confident me will be there in the Sri Lanka Series: Yuzvendra Chahal.



SLvsIND: Working on his variations and angles, a more confident Yuzvendra Chahal is on the way for upcoming India vs Sri Lanka limited-overs series, says the cricketer himself during the recent virtual press conference.



Chahal, who was India?s go-to bowler until the 2019 ODI World Cup, has not played a single ODI match since the last Australia series. Moreover, he was demoted from Grade B to Grade C in his annual contracts from the BCCI.



Talking about his preparedness for the limited-over series against Sri Lanka, Chahal replied:



"I've a couple of variations and I'm focusing on that only, not using other deliveries. You will see a more confident Yuzi in this series. I'm just working on my angles and in general trying to bowl more."

The leggie was a vital cog in the white ball but has played only five ODI matches since the last ODI World Cup. To make things worse, he was benched for the complete India-England three matches ODI series.



Chahal surely didn't have the best of his time in the recent past and talking about that, he said:



"My performance - I don't think it was a dip [in form] or anything," Chahal said ahead of the Sri Lanka ODI series. "You can't perform in every match. I will try my level best. This series is very important to me.



"I keep having conversations with the bowling coach.?



The 30-years old cricketer aims at booking his slot for the upcoming T20 World Cup, which will be held in the UAE and Oman.



The Sri Lanka series will be important to him as it can assure him of his place in the World Cup squad for India.

Vivo IPL 2021: 3 Cricketers who will benefit from UAE surface in the Vivo IPL 2021.



Vivo IPL 2021: The talkings of the Vivo IPL 2021 started taking rounds of social media as soon as the BCCI on Sunday revealed the newly revised schedule for the second half of the Vivo IPL 2021. The tournament is all set to commence with Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), two on-field foes, taking on each other on 19th September 2021 in Dubai.



The surface of the UAE has slightly different behaviours than Indian surfaces which means certain cricketers who struggled in India may get a chance to impress in the UAE cricket surfaces.



The article will take you through all the details of surfaces being used in the UAE and the three most probable players who will benefit from it more than ever.



<h2>Vivo IPL 2021: 3 Cricketers who will benefit from UAE surface in the Vivo IPL 2021:</h2>



<h3>Yuzvendra Chahal:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/07/Yuzvendra-Chahal-RCB.jpg" alt="Yuzvendra Chahal (Royal Challengers Bangalore)" class="wp-image-65950" /><figcaption>Yuzvendra Chahal (Royal Challengers Bangalore)</figcaption></figure>



Yuzvendra Chahal had a horrible outing in the first half of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. The premier RCB spinner managed to deceive just four players with his spin web and was smacked with an economy of 8.26.



Chahal struggled to find a right line and length for him which resulted in him scalping just four wickets in seven appearances.



With the leggie getting back in shape during the ongoing India tour of Sri Lanka, Chahal will feel safe with IPL 2021 getting shifted to the UAE.&nbsp;



The surface in the middle-east nation will assist his type of bowling. Barring Sharjah, which is reckoned as the batsman paradise due to its short boundaries, Abu Dhabi and Dubai will help Chahal?s bowling style.



It is noteworthy, RCB spinner Yuzvendra Chahal was the leading wicket fetcher for RCB with 21 wickets in 15 outings in UAE.

<h3>Rahul Chahar:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/07/Rahul-Chahar.jpg" alt="Rahul Chahar (Mumbai Indians)" class="wp-image-65951" /><figcaption>Rahul Chahar (Mumbai Indians)</figcaption></figure>



Mumbai Indians (MI) leggie Rahul Chahar is also on the list of players getting benefits from the UAE surfaces.&nbsp;



The young leggie showed promising signs consistently in the last few IPL appearances and owing to which he received his maiden T20I and ODI call-up.



Rahul Chahar was in fine touch during the first half of the IPL 2021, unlike Yuzvendra Chahal. The spinner provided 11 breakthroughs in seven matches in the first half.



He will look to continue his golden run in the IPL and pick up more wickets taking leverage of the UAE tweak friendly conditions.



Talking about his last year?s IPL stats, Chahar scalped 15 wickets in as many appearances.



<h3>David Warner:</h3>



The Australian opener and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) batsman David Warner saw an unforgettable outing in the first phase of the IPL 2021.



The dashing cricketer failed to score runs for his team which really doesn?t suit players of his calibre.



Making the outing more forgetful, SRH management sacked him from the leadership role and was eventually dropped from playing XI as well.



Warner managed to amass 193 runs in six matches for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).



The Aussie cricketer plundered a staggering 548 runs in IPL 2020 and has been consistent in the cash-rich league. He has amassed over 500 runs in consecutive six IPL seasons.



Warner loves the offering from the UAE surface and will be looking forward to making most of the second half of the IPL 2021.

SLvsIND: Yuzvendra Chahal, K Gowtham tested covid positive after the Completion of Sri Lanka tour.



SLvsIND: Team India has been hit by another setback as two spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Krishnappa Gowtham have also returned covid positive after the completion of the Sri Lanka tour. The duo will have to stay back in Sri Lanka until they recover completely.



The reports on Friday confirmed the development as all the other Indian players touring Sri Lanka returned home after the end of the tour. The Indian contingent has landed back on home soil this evening.



It is noteworthy that, earlier, all-rounder Krunal Pandya was tested covid positive and sent into isolation. As per the protocols, eight of Krunal?s close contacts were also forced to quarantine.&nbsp;



All the three covid positive returned players stayed back in Sri Lanka. According to the health protocols, all the three aforementioned cricketers will only get to travel back home after they come up with two consecutive negative covid reports in the RT-PCR test.

?Yuzi and Gowtham have tested positive as the team was supposed to return by a charter flight to Bengaluru sans Krunal Pandya. But now as per rules, Gowtham and Yuzi will also have to be in seven-day isolation in Sri Lanka. The contingent has reached Bengaluru," a BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity.



India got hammered in the T20I series by 2-1 as Sri Lanka registered their first T20I series win since 2019. Team India were reduced to mere few young cricketers after the covid positive report of Krunal Pandya.



India clinched the ODI series by 2-1 prior to the loss of the T20I series.

It?s too late for Yuzvendra Chahal to make it in T20 World Cup Squad: Saba Karim.



ICC T20 World Cup 2021: Team India?s limited-overs spin wizard Yuzvendra Chahal was overlooked by the Indian selectors during the selection of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 squad which is scheduled in the UAE and Oman.



The spinner and the whole cricketing world was taken aback by the selector?s decision which isn?t justifiable keeping in mind the intensity of the World Cup matches, however, the selection more or less goes hand in hand with the performance.



Chahal, prior to the start of the second leg of the Vivo IPL 2021, had an unforgettable outing in whichever match he played. The spinner was expensive in the recent Sri Lanka limited-overs tour and was also ineffective for RCB during the first leg of the IPL 2021.



The out of form Chahal during the selection of the T20 World Cup 2021 was ignored by the selection committee and in-form Rahul Chahar and Varun Chakravarthy got clearance owing to their consistent performances.?



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/BCCI/status/1435641240935014406
</div></figure>



However, the senior spinner has regained his form and is turning out to be the best performer for RCB in the UAE second phase of IPL 2021. Chahal has, till now, picked up 10 wickets in four matches in the UAE and has also won a Man of the Match award in the clash against Rajasthan Royals.



The recent performances of Chahal have definitely ringed the selector?s bell, however, former Indian cricketer and selector Saba Karim feels it?s too late for Yuzvendra Chahal to make it to the T20 World Cup 2021 squad.



"I think it?s too late now. People have been talking about making changes in the squad, but that can only happen if someone gets injured. You also have to see Rahul Chahar was performing very well when he got selected. We saw both of them (Chahal and Chahar) in Sri Lanka, and his performances there were definitely noteworthy, which is why he was picked by selectors,? said Saba Karim in the Khelneeti podcast on Youtube.

<h2>Chahal will have to wait for his turn: Saba Karim</h2>



Saba Karim, 52-years old, further opined that the tweaker will have to wait despite improved performances as the spinners picked at first place will be given the priorities and their performances will be noted down.



"Now, in the second half of the IPL, Chahal has shown great improvement in his performances, which is very good. But he will have to wait a little. The players who have been selected, their form and performances will be seen before Chahal is given a chance again."



The former cricketer also considers that the selectors should have picked players with enough T20I experience as the level of competition in the World Cup matches is quite high as compared to the IPL.



"There has been talk of so many youngsters doing well but when you are picking a squad for the World Cup, you have to go in with some experienced players because the World Cup is a different platform. If you look at previous World Cups winners, those players do well that have experience of having played more T20 matches at that level. We should also not forget that there is a big difference in the quality of competition in the World Cup and IPL.

The Indian Cricket Team for the T20 World Cup 2021 is the current talk of the town. From the surprise?selection?of experienced campaigner Ravichandran Ashwin to the exclusion of Shreyas Iyer, several things raised the eyebrows. The latest development to this team is the addition of net bowlers. The team?requires?good net bowlers. There is a possibility that Umran Malik from the Sunrisers Hyderabad and Harshal Patel, the current purple cap holder from Royal Challengers?Bangalore?will be added.?Also,?there are a few concerns on Varun Chakravarthy?s fitness: -?



<h2>Umran Malik and Harshal Patel To Be Added As Net Bowlers: -?</h2>



Being a net bowler in the Indian Cricket Team is one thing that can?change?the dynamics of a player?s career. Be it, Natarajan, on the Australia Tour in 2020-21, who later debuted in all three formats in absence of key players, or Sandeep Warrier on the Sri Lanka Tour in 2021. The latest possible addition to the Indian net bowlers for the T20 World Cup 2021 is Umran Malik and Harshal Patel.?



Harshal Patel is the current purple cap holder in the IPL. He has picked 30 wickets in the IPL 2021. He has been the best death bowler with a mix of smart slower ones and cutters. Harshal Patel and his hattrick against the Mumbai Indians is one that a cricket fan can never forget. According to several cricket analysts, he has been the best bowler in the league.??



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/10/cricket-br2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-76281" /><figcaption>Gautam Gambhir has regarded Harshal Patel as the best bowler of the season.</figcaption></figure>



Umran Malik is having a dream year this season. He was initially the net bowler for Sunrisers Hyderabad and after the failure of all the Indian options for SRH, he was finally drafted to the main squad. And Umran made sure he makes a mark. He is the bowler to ball the quickest delivery this season clocking 153 kmph! A duplicate of the prime Waqar Younis, Umran can be a strike force if he is groomed well and has his head on the shoulders.&nbsp;



<h2>Concern Over Varun?Chakravathy?s?Fitness: -?</h2>



Varun?Chakravarthy?is another name that asks the fans to give a second thought. Varun if picked in the final 15 which is supposed to be announced today (10th?October), he finds a direct place in the 11. One cannot ignore the fact that Varun has been in star-studded form lately and he is an asset to the team. The concern is over his knee injuries. Varun has been taking a lot of pressure on his knees from the start of the season. His mystery spinning abilities are second to none.??



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/10/cricket-br3.png" alt="" class="wp-image-76282" /><figcaption>Varun Chakravarthy, if fit, will turn the tide in favor of Indians.</figcaption></figure>



If Varun misses out (which seems a rare scenario now) Yuzi Chahal is the best option to replace him. The team has chosen the lesser-known Rahul Chahar over the experienced and better-known Yuzi Chahal.&nbsp;Yuzvendra&nbsp;Chahal has made the most of the dry UAE pitches and has done well with RCB. On the other&nbsp;hand,&nbsp;Rahul Chahar was unfortunately dropped from the Mumbai Indians squad as well. Now it is up to the selectors on which of the 3 spinners will be finalized.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Virat Kohli explains why Yuzvendra Chahal was overlooked for Rahul Chahar in the World Cup squad.



T20 World Cup 2021: The Indian selection committee stunned everyone with the choice of selection they did for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2021 squad. The 15-men strong Indian squad included several players who were nowhere near the Indian setup, however, some players who were certain to get a chance in the World Cup were given an axe by the selectors raising the eyebrows of netizens.



Experienced campaigner Yuzvendra Chahal was the one who didn?t quite manage to find his spot in the World Cup squad despite performing consistently in the shortest format for years. Explaining and justifying selectors move to drop Chahal out of the squad, Virat admitted that leaving Chahal out of the squad was a tough call for them.



The Indian selectors overlooked Yuzvendra Chahal and picked Rahul Chahar in his place due to his consistency over the last couple of years. Chahar did well in the past few IPL seasons and also bowled with consistency in the recent series against Sri Lanka.



?It was a challenging call but we decided to back Rahul Chahar for a reason. He has bowled amazingly well over the last couple of years in the IPL. A guy who bowls with pace, he did really well in Sri Lanka and against England at home as well, he was someone who bowled those difficult overs,? Virat Kohli said on Saturday during a Captain?s Call organised by the ICC ahead of the tournament.

Kohli believes that bowlers who do not give much air to the ball and bowl with a good pace are certainly going to benefit from the UAE surface. The wickets have shifted to the slower side and as the tournament begins wickets will go further towards slowness.



?We believe going on in this tournament, the wickets are going to get slower and slower, so guys who bowl with pace will be able to trouble the batters as compared to those who give it air,? he added.



The ability of Rahul Chahar to bowl quicker through the air on those surfaces and attacking the wickets gave him a healthy edge over Yuzvendra Chahal.



?Rahul definitely has those strengths naturally as a leg-spinner. He is someone who always attacks the wickets, that is the factor that tilted the thing in favour of him. Picking a World Cup is always tricky and you cannot always have everyone in that squad.?

Yuvraj Singh arrested for making casteist remarks against Yuzvendra Chahal.



Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh was on Saturday arrested by Hansi Police (Haryana) for allegedly making casteist slur during an Instagram live last year. He was, though, given interim bail on the orders of Punjab and Haryana High Court.



The 35-years old cricketer during an Instagram Live, conducted in April last year, with opener Rohit Sharma uttered some casteist remarks unknowingly against leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal which didn't go well with Chahal's fans. The people on social media has constantly targeted Singh multiple times and has often demanded apologies.



Rajat Kalsan, a lawyer from Hasni, filed a complaint against the former cricketer for his poor casteist comments after which action was taken against Yuvraj Singh and was booked under Sections 153A and 153B of Indian Penal Code Section 3(1)(u) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention and Atrocities) Act.



Nitika Gahulaut, Superintendent of Police (Hansi) confirmed the formal arrest of the Ex Indian cricketer and after which he was released on bail.

"We only made a formal arrest and he was released on bail in compliance of the orders of the Punjab and Haryana High court," Nitika Gahulaut said.



The 2011 World Cup-winning cricketer has issued his apology for the same and has expressed his regret for unknowingly hurting people?s sentiments.?



"This is to clarify I have never believed in any kind of disparity, be it on the basis of caste, colour, creed or gender. I have given and continue to spend my life for the welfare of people. I believe in the dignity of life and respect each individual without exception,? wrote Yuvraj Singh in his apology which was posted across his social media handles.

The India and Pakistan rivalry has been a great contest on the cricket field, as well as the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, marked by intense competition between the neighbouring nations and passionate fan engagement. It has often been seen that ever since the two teams have stopped playing bilaterals against eachother, these two are featured in every ICC tournament, which draw millions of spectators.  
The rivalry only intensifies, every time the two nations play against eachother, be it the Cricket World Cup or the ICC Champions Trophy. Such has been India’s domination in the ICC events, that they claimed successive wins in both the One-Day as well as the T20 World Cup. However, the Champions Trophy results have been contrasting with Pakistan’s infamous victory in the CT 2017 final against India, as well as their memorable 10-wickets win against India in the T20 World Cup of 2021.    
Clearly, the India vs Pakistan games are celebration of cricket to its peak, where every ball, every run, and every wicket carries the weightage of national pride.
<h2 dir="ltr">Here’s the strongest combined playing XI from the current squads of India and Pakistan for ICC Champions Trophy 2025:</h2>

Indian middle-order batter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shreyas_Iyer">Shreyas Iyer </a>has been a consistent player for the men in blue in the ODI format for a long time. Iyer has been a crucial asset to the India middle-order while delivering match-winning performances in the CWC 2023 as well as the Asia Cup. This is the reason he finds himself in place of Indian star wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant.  
As of now, Shreyas Iyer has put on a total of 2,421 runs with an average of 47.47, including 5 centuries and 18 fifties.

As of now, Hardik Pandya has scored 1769 runs and has taken 84 wickets for the Indian side in the 50-over format.
<h3 dir="ltr">7: Shadab Khan</h3>

As of now, Shaheen Shah Afridi has picked 119 wickets for the Pakistan Cricket Team with an economy of 5.49.
<h3 dir="ltr">10: Jasprit Bumrah</h3>
India’s most deadliest fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is one of the most feared bowlers in the world currently. Bumrah is an exceptional pacer in all phases of the game, and he can deliver the maximum impact with the new ball as well as in the death overs. Bumrah has not played many ODIs owing to his frequent injuries and still remains doubtful for the Champions Trophy 2025. 
As of now, Jasprit Bumrah has taken a total of 149 wickets with an economy of 4.59 for the Indian side.
<h3 dir="ltr">11: Mohammed Shami</h3>

Delhi Capitals IPL 2025: The Delhi Capitals (DC) find themselves in a fascinating position ahead of the IPL 2025 season. The team is primed for success with a revamped squad and a renewed focus. However, one crucial question looms large: who should lead the team? The experienced KL Rahul, or the dependable all-rounder Axar Patel? Let’s break down the dynamics and possibilities that each captaincy option offers.
<h2>KL Rahul: The Veteran Leader</h2>
KL Rahul comes to Delhi with a rich IPL pedigree. Over the years, he has proven himself as a prolific run-scorer, amassing over 4,600 runs at a phenomenal average of 45-plus. His experience as captain of the Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants has shown his ability to guide a team to playoff stages, which he achieved twice with LSG. Rahul’s batting consistency and calm demeanor make him an attractive choice to lead DC.
However, Rahul’s captaincy style has been criticized for being conservative, particularly regarding his strike rate and decision-making in crunch moments. This could be a concern for a team like the Delhi Capitals, which boasts explosive batting talent and needs a captain capable of effectively utilizing this firepower.
<h2>Axar Patel: The Fresh Perspective</h2>
On the other hand, Axar Patel represents a new-age leader with a wealth of experience in high-pressure situations. Axar has been DC's vice-captain and even stepped in as captain for a game in IPL 2024. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball makes him a key player, and his recent appointment as India’s T20 vice-captain adds to his leadership credentials.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679063ce6ad86.jpg" alt="">
Axar’s performances last season were nothing short of stellar, with 235 runs at a healthy strike rate and 11 wickets at an economy of 7.66. His all-around prowess, coupled with his understanding of the DC squad, makes him a strong contender for the captaincy.
Choosing between Rahul and Axar is essentially a choice between two distinct leadership styles. Rahul brings stability and experience, having captained for multiple IPL seasons. His presence can calm nerves during tense moments, which is invaluable for a team aiming for the playoffs. Axar, however, offers a dynamic and aggressive approach, potentially aligning better with DC’s young and energetic squad.
<h2>Delhi Capitals, the Squad</h2>
Delhi’s 2025 squad is packed with talent across the board. In the batting department, players like Harry Brook, Tristan Stubbs, and Jake Fraser-McGurk add explosive options, while KL Rahul himself remains a cornerstone at number three. The pace unit, led by Mitchell Starc and supported by T Natarajan and Mukesh Kumar, is formidable. However, the reliance on Axar and Kuldeep Yadav in the spin department highlights a potential area of concern.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679063cab56d5.jpg" alt="">
Delhi Capitals Squad: Harry Brook, Jake Fraser-McGurk, KL Rahul, Mitchell Starc, T Natarajan, Ashutosh Sharma, Mohit Sharma, Sameer Rizvi, Karun Nair, Faf du Plessis, Mukesh Kumar, Darshan Nalkande, Dushmantha Chameera, Vipraj Nigam, Ajay Mandal, Manwanth Kumar, Trupurana Vijay, Madhav Tiwari. DC retentions: Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Tristan Stubbs, Abishek Porel.
<h2>The Strategic Impact of Captaincy</h2>
Under Rahul, DC might adopt a more methodical approach, relying on his ability to anchor innings and guide young players like Abishek Porel and Fraser-McGurk. Axar’s leadership could inject a more fearless and intuitive style, encouraging aggressive cricket and leveraging DC’s bench strength, including veterans like Faf du Plessis.
One key consideration is how the captaincy might affect their individual performances. While Rahul’s form as an opener has been a consistent asset, Axar’s ability to contribute with both bat and ball is crucial to DC’s balance. Assigning the captaincy to Axar could be a gamble, but it might pay off if it inspires the team to rally around a fresh vision.
Ultimately, the choice of captain will reflect DC’s strategic priorities. If the franchise prioritizes experience and a steady hand, KL Rahul is the natural choice. However, if they aim for a bold and innovative approach, Axar Patel might be the leader to take them to new heights.
Either way, the Delhi Capitals possess the ingredients for a successful campaign, and the captaincy debate only adds to the intrigue surrounding their 2025 IPL journey. They are one of the strong contenders for the trophy this year.

KL Rahul or Axar Patel, who could be the Next Leader of Capitals?

Delhi Capitals faces a tough captaincy choice for IPL 2025: experienced KL Rahul or dynamic Axar Patel. Both offer distinct leadership styles, which will shape DC's approach with their star-studded squad and bold ambitions.

Delhi Capitals must choose between KL Rahul’s steady leadership or Axar Patel’s dynamic approach to maximize their IPL 2025 potential.

Can Delhi Capitals win IPL 2025? KL Rahul or Axar Patel, who could be the Next Leader of Capitals?
