Veteran commentator Aakash Chopra said that Rajasthan Royals (RR) spinner Yuzvendra Chahal can get a place in India’s T20 World Cup squad with his stunning bowling performances in IPL 2024. However, Rajasthan Royals will face the Delhi Capitals (DC) in Jaipur on Thursday, March 28 as well. Meanwhile, they registered a convincing 20-run win against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their opening game as well.
In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra said, “The bowler once again in focus for me is Yuzi Chahal. I was focussing on him last time as well and I am doing that again. I have a slight long-term vision. I am thinking can Yuzi get a place for the T20 World Cup. I am getting slightly greedy here because I like Yuzi. He is a very good player and picks up a lot of wickets. So I am just hoping that he has a good game. Terrifying batters, including Mitchell Marsh, David Warner, Rishabh Pant and Abhishek Porel, will be in front of him this time.”

However, Aakash Chopra also added that the Delhi Capitals have a few left-handed batters in their lineup and also questioned whether he should pick Ravichandran Ashwin as the bowler to watch out for in such a case but opted to stick with him as well.
“I still believe Yashasvi Jaiswal will have the Orange Cap on his head eventually. He fell prey to greed in the last match when he was batting well. One thing is need and the other thing is greed. Need is fine. He hit two fours, that was need, and then he went to hit another one, that was greed,” he said.

“Yashasvi, you are an amazing player, you are my favorite player, and that’s why I have kept you as the player in focus once again. My expectation is that Delhi’s bowling, which is looking 50-50 in any case because they don’t play overseas bowlers, can be destroyed by you. Once again Jos Buttler. The last season was 50-50. First match – two good shots and then got out. If Buttler scores runs, he will destroy. I am rating Rajasthan highly. I feel this team should do well but for that, the openers need to do well. You expect Jos Buttler to play well. For how long can you stop a storm?” Aakash Chopra concluded.
