“It is never easy to tinker with a winning combination, but Chahal in place of Kedar Jadhav will not be a bad idea”, Srikkanth wrote in his column for TOI. Kedar Jadhav, who was out of the team after his poor performance in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, made a comeback in Indian squad in ongoing IND vs WI 2019 series. He also said that taking both Chahal and Kuldeep in the match will be a good option. “Kedar at six is too much of a luxury, especially on days when he does not get enough overs to bat. Chahal and Kuldeep together could pose a lot of questions for the visitors,” the former Tamil Nadu cricketer wrote. Virat Kohli Brings Out His Funny Side on Social Media With Yuzvendra Chahal.

In the 2nd ODI, he scored unbeaten 16 runs off 10 balls.
