Should we apologize to Chahal?

[maniac]

Looking back he would have been a sure starter in our spin combo and since Jadeja is also a sure starter our option would be clear cut between Varun C and Ashwin.

 

Now nothing against Rahul Chahar, I think he is talented and will figure it out but right now is too raw, inexperienced and out of form- a lethal combo right there. He is not inspiring enough confidence at the moment.

 

Chahal was in great form in the IPL and looking back he wasn’t such a bad bowler even when we were criticizing him he was alright. Every bowler is allowed a spanking or 2 in the age of T20 every now and then. I think he might have been the missing link all along which is why our combo looks a little half baked.

 

on top of that there is Dhoni in the team as mentor who used to take half his wickets so that would help him and he gets along with Kohli and did well under him as well. 
 

I think we may have to apologize to Chahal.

 

I am not Akash Chopra. God promise.

Chahal is crap. Toleration/acceptance of such mediocrity is why Ind won diddly for a decade in tournaments. Can't bat or field either. Poor body language. 30 something. 

 

And grins like a buffoon when he gets smacked for 6s @velu

 

Rather bring back Mishra or even Chawla.

Mental midget and real midget as well.

• Have patience with players...........accept every player will go through good n bad times. Bad times makes a cricketer even a better player.
• Judge a player on his skills not on his physicality 
• Understand players strength n weakness n then compare it to someone and then rate or underrate him. Dnt make someone great or looser due to few games

His fielding was abysmal. He used to field in short fine leg or third man and every time ball used to go to him i used to pray.. he was immense in the 2018 cycle in odi s and t20s but then everyone knew if he is tonked a few he starts throwing it outside off stump. Maxwell fell for this trick few times but then started tonking him taking an off stump guard and smashing him over extra cover and long off. That started his downfall

[ShoonyaSifar]

For being the worst T20I spinner in the last 3 years? FFS during this period the guy averages 38 in T20Is and leaks runs like a busted water pipeline. Should have been dropped long ago

[SK_IH]

Good riddance, he is nothing extra ordinary. 

[Jamadagni]

Enough of these shitty players. Zero skills in batting and fielding. 

[Lone Wolf]

Chahal was dropped rightfully.  He had been trash for last more than 2 years & gets dropped midway in almost every series he plays - Australia WI England NZ & it happens every single time.  What's the point in investing such player who has zero upside?  He can't bat,  a poor fielder too.  He is 30+ right now as well. 

 

Rahul Chahar is young & has deserved this opportunity.  We should show patience with him before discarding him.  Bishnoi should be next in line imo before Chahal.  Back your young horses for future.

His internationals numbers have been absymal for last 3 years.  Averaging 40 on t20s is criminal and thats more than half of his career

 

There is a difference between having patiencd and just letting someone a free pass

 

T20 anyways is a game of youngsters, IMO the shelf life of a internstional player shouldn't he more than 5-7 years unless he is an extraordinary hitter or a wicket taker of malingas level

 

[speedheat]

No

[dilliboy]

IMO Chahar won't start as well.. Will probably play Ashwin during the start against the bigger teams while Chahar will be 'unleashed' against the likes of Scotland and Namibia

[velu]

chahal should apologies for  destroying countless indian and rcb jerseys  

[Lord]

huh he sucked for 2 years.I'm actually glad selectors didnt give too much importance to IPL.

 

Even if R Chahar can be decent,he'll contribute in field and even bat if required. He's one for the future

Yes he should apologise to the jersey collars and washing machines and surf excel

[maniac]

Looking at the pitches, I think he is the missing link.

 

Sorry Yuzi

[vvvslaxman]

I see where @maniac is coming from.  Rahul chahar was picked for his speed compared to Chahal. But turns out slower you bowler is more you are effective on these pitches.  Mishra ji type of bowlers.
