One of the most eminent leg-spinners of all time to have reigned supreme in the Indian Premier League is Yuzvendra Chahal. He has shifted bases from one end to the other, spanning from Mumbai Indians to Rajasthan Royals. With all the talks of retention going on, one of the key discussions has been whether Chahal will be retained or not.
In case if he is not retained by the Rajasthan Royals, then whose profile does Chahal fit? Here are three teams who might come knocking on the doors of Yuzvendra Chahal if he is released by RR.
#1 Royal Challengers Bengaluru
It goes without saying that RCB realized it the hard way that Yuzvendra Chahal is a game-changer and you don’t just let him go. With that being said, they might just fancy their chances with the leg-spinner while trying to buy him back. The spinning department of RCB exactly isn’t their strong suit and that is one of the key reasons why they will be happy to land Chahal again.
#2 Lucknow Super Giants
LSG’s last season had a few challenges in the bowling department, especially when it came to claiming wickets. The arrival of Chahal brings in the wicket-taking factor and also an experienced campaigner to the side. His presence in the team is also a massive boost for the youngsters whom he can mould for the upcoming seasons.
#3 Mumbai Indians
Chahal’s backstory with Mumbai Indians where he was literally manhandled didn’t go down well with anyone. However, that is a lost chapter and a new one can always be written.
MI’s bowling department from Jasprit Bumrah wasn’t really up to the mark and that is what will propel them to look for another reliable mainstay in the IPL. With Chahal, they can have a key bowler in both the pace and the spin departments which will give them a chance at getting themselves back to the winning ways.
