Yuzvendra Chahal is one of the best wrist spinners of the current era. He has made his mark by taking 118 wickets in 67 ODIs and 79 wickets in 62 T20 Internationals. However, leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has not found a place in India’s Test team despite success in the limited overs format. He made his international cricket debut in the year 2016. By the way, the inclusion of Yuzvendra Chahal in the Test squad has been advocated by many former players and experts, in which the new name of former Indian spinner Nikhil Chopra has also been added.
‘Yuzvendra Chahal must have a desire to play Tests’
Chopra believes that if Chahal gets a chance in the longest format, he will rock. However, the former cricketer says that the most important thing for this is Yuzvendra Chahal’s desire to play Tests. “The most important thing is that Yuzvendra Chahal should have a desire to play red-ball cricket,” Chopra said in a conversation with CricTracker. It is a passion, which comes in a Test cricketer. The kind of ability and intelligence that Yuzvendra Chahal has, I think he will definitely set the flag of success in Tests. Passion will be the most important thing.

Chahal has expressed his desire to play Test
It is worth mentioning that Chahal had expressed his desire to play Test cricket for India in a conversation with Cricinfo earlier this year. “Of course I want to play,” he said. I have taken 50 wickets in my last 10 Ranji Trophy matches. Definitely Test cricket is my priority. I think being called a Test player has a different feeling. A lot of players play ODI and T20 matches, but in Test cricket your skill and patience are tested. Let us tell you that Yuzvendra Chahal has not played a first-class match since December 2018.
