The Indian leg-spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal has often been seen talking about his batting abilities as his lover hilariously glorifying his skills with the bat. But when Mumbai Indians put out a post on Twitter with a split image of Chahal and Jasprit Bumrah, asking fans if they were “pumped-up to see Bumrah bowl to Chahal?”, Chahal downplayed his own proficiency and posted a brutal response.
Replying to Mumbai Indians’ tweet, Chahal wrote: “Keep dreaming i am batting no.10 or 11 before me finch ABD sir and king kohli is there first get them out then we will talk about my batting”.

Yuzvendra Chahal, who would have been a part of the Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore if the IPL had started as per the schedule, said he had been spending time with family members. He said, “I don’t get to spend too much time with my family. After many years I am at home. I am spending a lot of time with my family. It is a good and new experience. I sleep late and wake up late and spend time with my family members in the evening.”

Talking about Chess, Chahal said, “Chess taught me patience. In cricket, you may be bowling well but you may not get wickets. Like in a Test match you may have bowled well in a day but not got wickets but you have to come back the next day so you need to be patient. Chess has helped me a lot in that way. I have learned to be patient and get batsmen out.”
