Yuzvendra Chahal got a bag of tricks: Rob Keogh

Despite being named to the T20 World Cup 2024 squad, the Indian spinner did not get to participate in any matches. But shortly thereafter, he signed up with Northamptonshire and claimed a fifer in the Royal One Day Cup against Kent. The veteran is referred to by his teammates as a wizard, according to spinner Rob Keogh.

We refer to him as the magician. He has several ninja moves. Fortunately, it was too cold for him to use every method in the book. He said that by simply sticking to the flipper a few times, he was able to take several wickets. Everyone, even the opposition, is well aware of his capabilities. They’re counting on him to provide massive turners, and he comes through with the flipper,” Keogh stated, as reported by India Today.

For the July–August white-ball tour to Sri Lanka, Chahal was not selected. He was left off of the squad for the ongoing series’ opening Test against Bangladesh. But in the T20I series against Bangladesh, he will try to recover and resurrect his brilliant form with the ball.
