India’s young leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is on the verge becoming one of the crucial cogs for the Indian cricket in the limited overs cricket only because of his patience and smartness, through which he fox the batsmen. Currently, he is the go-to man for his skipper Virat Kohli and recently during a chat with NDTV,  Chahal recalled the match-winning spell against England in Bengaluru last year where he claimed astonishing figures of 6 for 25 to give India a resounding 75-run victory in the third and final Twenty20 International and clinch series 2-1.

Ahead of the grueling England tour, Chahal wants a repeat the performance of the Bengaluru T20I when India take on Eoin Morgan’s men in the opening T20I of the three-match series at Old Trafford in Manchester. He said, “It was a memorable spell for me. I still recall it and watch the videos. It is not easy to take wickets in T20Is. I am not nervous. I am excited. I have already played….I mean outplayed them in the past,” Chahal told NDTV.com in an exclusive interview.

Chahal also said that he has chalked out some plans with captain Kohli ahead of the tour. He said,”Virat bhai and I have discussed the plans. We have a decent plan against England. I will execute them.” He also revealed that he has some new variations and he is keen to use when India kick off their campaign at Old Trafford.

Yuzi also paid tribute to South Africa star batsman AB de Villiers, who decided to retire from international cricket recently. He said, “I spoke to him about a match a day before he took the retirement. Next day, when I heard the news, I shocked because I still can see a lot of cricket in him. He is one of the fittest guys. I called him… he said ‘I am tired’.”

One being asked his chances on representing India in Tests, Chahal feels that the decision will be taken by the selectors.

The young leggie replied, “By God’s grace, I am performing well in ODIs and T20Is. I am ready to play any format of the game. If I will get the opportunity to play red ball cricket, I will grab it with both hands. I am ready. It totally depends on selectors. If they think I am capable enough, they will surely give me a chance. My job is to work hard and focus on my game and I am doing that.”
