Despite recent exclusions from the Indian squad, Yuzvendra Chahal has showcased his exceptional talent with a remarkable six-wicket haul in the Vijay Hazare Trophy clash between Haryana and Uttarakhand. This achievement not only propelled him past the significant milestone of 200 List-A wickets but also highlighted his unwavering determination and resilience.
Chahal’s brilliance was evident from the outset, claiming three crucial wickets within his initial four overs. His determination to reach the landmark was unwavering, and in the eighth over, he dismissed Akhil Rawat, marking a momentous occasion in his career.
Unfazed by recent setbacks, Chahal continued his dominant display, securing his fifth List-A five-for by dismissing Mayank Mishra for a duck just two balls after claiming his 200th wicket. His exceptional performance culminated in a sensational six-wicket haul in his final over, finishing with impressive figures of 6/26 in 10 overs.

Chahal’s prowess has been evident throughout his career, yet he has faced exclusions from both the Asia Cup and the 2023 World Cup squads. Despite these challenges, he remains focused and determined to reclaim his place in the national team.
In a recent interview, Chahal addressed his omission from the ODI World Cup, he stated, “I understand that only fifteen players can be a part because it’s a World Cup, where you can’t take 17 or 18. I do feel a little bad, but my motto in life is to move on. I’m used to it now, it’s been three World Cups (laughs). That’s why I came here [at Kent] to play because I want to play cricket somewhere, somehow.”
