Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh are the two spinners in Chawla's all-time XI. Kumble's precise line and length and Harbhajan's effective off-spin challenged batters all around the globe. Their inclusion ensures a spin attack that can excel on any pitch.

Chawla also opened up about the bond he shares with India captain Rohit Sharma.

"I've played so much cricket with him that we've reached a comfort level. We sit off the field as well. Once, at 2:30 in the night, he texted me and asked, "you up?" He drew a field on paper and discussed with me about potentially dismissing Warner. Even at that time, he was thinking about how he could get the best out of me," Chawla was quoted as saying to YouTuber Shubhankar Mishra's podcast.
