Spinners Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav face trial by fire in IPL 2021

India TV News  

Until a couple of years ago, both Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav were Virat Kohli's strike bowlers in limited-overs formats for India. While Chahal was benched after the first three T20 Internationals against England and did not return to the playing XI in the last two matches of the series, as well as the three-match ODI series, Yadav, who had been travelling with the Indian team for the past five months, too got to play very little cricket. While Chahal is expected to feature in the Royal Challengers Bangalore's playing XI for a few matches as he is the lead spinner of the side led by Virat Kohli, he is bound to face competition from Aussie leg-spinner Adam Zampa, who did well against India in the recent limited-overs series at home. With off-spinner Washington Sundar also likely to be a certainty following his exploits for India in recent series against Australia and England, Chahal could find the competition tough.
