Anil Kumble on India using Yuzvendra Chahal as concussion substitute for Ravindra Jadeja: Don't see any issue

Former India captain and coach Anil Kumble made his opinions heard on the concussion saga which took place in the first T20I between India and Australia in Canberra. Yuzvendra Chahal was named as concussion substitute for Ravindra Jadeja after the all-rounder took a blow to the head in the final over of the Indian innings. Whenever he got hit I don't think it has got anything to do with replacement," Kumble said at a virtual launch of 'The Hitman: The Rohit Sharma Story', written by Vijay Lokapally and G. Krishnan. If the roles were to be replaced, for example, if he was concussed when on the field when India was bowling and if Jadeja had to bat and couldn't bat then I am sure Chahal wouldn't have been like-to-like replacement.
