Indian leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal spilled the beans on some dressing-room secrets and talked about the players who keep everyone entertained in the Indian team dressing room with their cheerful and friendly nature.


“These days we play dumb-charades. I credit my seniors that they don’t let you feel like an outsider and you can talk to anyone at any time. Mahi bhai whenever we play PUBG together or talk, it doesn’t feel like we are talking to MAHI BHAI. He is a real prankster and so is Rohit bhaiya,” Chahal told India Today.

“Virat bhaiya is a silent killer. He intervenes in other pranks and does his own thing as he knows no one will reply. We always listen to songs, Virat bhaiya, Shikhar bhaiya play Punjabi songs all the time,” he further added.

It's a no hidden fact that Kohli is a fitness freak who works really hard to always be at the top of his game. Chahal spoke highly of Kohli and praised him for revolutionising fitness in Indian cricket.

“A perfect example (of Virat’s commitment) as he became vegan. His lifestyle and going to the gym even after 7-8 hours of shooting. Even if we get 30% of such qualities we would become so much better,” the leggie added.

Bengal Cricket boss Sourav Ganguly believes Virat Kohli should bring back wrist spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav (KulCha) in T20s. The spinning duo is not part of of team India for series against Windies and Proteas in limited overs format.

"This is a good team but Virat needs to bring back the wrist spinners into this format," Ganguly wrote in his column for Times of India. "I hope Yuzvendra Chahal has only been rested to give opportunity to others, or else he is a must for India in the T20 format.
