synopsis
Yuzvendra Chahal is currently busy representing Haryana in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. As a result, he has missed out on celebrating Diwali with his family, while his wife Dhanashree Verma did it alone.
Indian leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal did a commendable job in the 2021 Indian Premier League (IPL). Playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), he scalped 18 wickets in 15 innings at a 7.05 rate of the economy. At the same time, he finished as the side’s second-most wicket-taker for the season after pacer Harshal Patel.
However, he failed to make it to the Indian team of the continuing ICC T20 World Cup 2021 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where India has had an unsteady performance so far. In the meantime, it seems like he would be in strong contention to make it to the squad for the upcoming three-match T20I series against New Zealand, starting November 17.
Currently, Chahal is busy grooming himself further, as he is taking part in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20 tournament, representing his home team of Haryana. Consequently, he has missed out on celebrating Diwali this time around with his family, especially his dancer wife Dhanashree Verma, in what would have been their first Diwali together since getting hitched.
