The Indian leg-spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal is one of the best leg-spinners going around in the world right now, but he is not known much for his batting skills. His highest score in ODIs is an unbeaten 18, while his best batting performance in T20Is is 3 not-out. Chahal himself has often made fun of his own batting, while the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli, and opener Rohit Sharma have taken a dig at the leggie over his skills with the willow.
So it came as a surprise when Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), who Chahal represents in the Indian Premier League (IPL), on Tuesday shared a post on Instagram where they reminded the fans that the leg-spinner had once scored 135 and 46 in a match against Himachal Pradesh U-19 in the 2008/09 Cooch Behar Trophy in Bengaluru.

But Kohli, who also captains RCB, seemed unconvinced by the suggestion. Along with a laughing emoji, he commented, “Definitely exhibition game.” Many users responded to Kohli’s comment urging him to open the batting with Chahal when RCB does take to the field next. The current season of the IPL has been indefinitely suspended as the nationwide lockdown was extended due to coronavirus pandemic.
