Chahal’s ongoing cricketing journey
On the international stage, Chahal faced exclusion from the upcoming T20I series at home between India and Australia, hinting at a potential sidelining by the BCCI selectors. This trend of omission extended to major ICC events, with Chahal notably absent from the squads in the last two T20 World Cups and the recent ICC ODI World Cup 2023 hosted in India.
