New Delhi: Ravichandran Ashwin Recently shared an interesting story about spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and his incredible confidence in batting during his time with the team. rajasthan royals. Ashwin revealed in JioHotstar’s ‘Champion Valli Review’ that Chahal often claimed to be a power batsman and even wanted to open with intense pulsed light match.Ashwin said Chahal once told him that he had scored a century in his Under-19 days and believed he could handle pressure situations with the bat.

“Chahal once told me that he had played in the U19s and even claimed to have scored a hundred that year. He said that in high-pressure situations, if the team needs someone to step up, he should be sent in.” But honestly, my question is simple, ‘Where will Chahal find the strength to clear the borders? ‘” he said.Ashwin also recalled how Chahal regularly asked the Rajasthan Royals management to let him start batting. Since Ashwin himself would sometimes be promoted, Chahal would jokingly ask him to take off his pads so he could go.“We spent three seasons together at Rajasthan Royals. I noticed that wherever he went, he always asked to open the batting. I remember putting the pads on because RR used to send me orders. But Chahal would come up and tell me to take the pads off because he wanted to go out and bat,” Ashwin said.He also joked about Chahal facing fast bowlers like Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj, saying: “More importantly, he may end up getting injured at this pace.”
