Yuzvendra Chahal one of the best, but Kuldeep Yadav seized his chance: Imran Tahir | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Former South African spinner Imran Tahir has lauded Yuzvendra Chahal as one of the best wrist spinners in world cricket but believes he will have to be patient for his chance, considering Kuldeep Yadav's improved white-ball skills. Tahir expressed his views on the current dynamics in Indian spin bowling and Chahal's exclusion during a recent interaction."I don't think Yuzi was dropped because he wasn't performing.

Tabraiz Shamsi on being abused online for celebrating Suryakumar Yadav’s wicket: ‘It was the worst…abuse was hurled at my wife’

When Tabraiz Shamsi forced Suryakumar Yadav to hole one straight to long off in the second T20I between India and South Africa in Gqeherba earlier this month, the left-arm spinner was right in celebrating it as a match-winning moment. India’s stand-in captain being removed in the 14th over eventually played a decisive role as the hosts emerged victorious. However, the 33-year-old has now conceded that the celebrations led to him being hurled with online abuse following the match. “People took it in a negative way; they thought it was disrespectful,” Shamsi told Cricbuzz. “I had so much abuse hurled at me. It was probably the worst it’s ever been. There was also abuse hurled at my wife. I didn’t appreciate that. It’s uncalled for. It’s fine if you want to have a dig at the players, but t...
