'Yuzvendra Chahal Horrible Bowler, Jadeja Was Pathetic': Ex-Pak Cricketer Hit Out At Indian Spinners

Ravindra Jadeja, currently playing Ind vs Aus Border-Gavaskar Trophy, picked 17 wickets in first two tests vs Australia and was adjudged Player of the Match in both Tests.

Chahal is yet to play a Test match for team India but is a regular member of the white-ball team and India's highest wicket-taker in T20Is.

Claiming that Pakistan have better spinners than India, former Pakistan spinner Abdur Rehman launched a scathing attack on star Indian spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravindra Jadeja. Rehman hit out at in-form Jadeja by calling him a pathetic bowler when he started his career, and that Chahal is a horrible bowler as can't spin the ball much.

The blunt criticism from the ex-Pak cricketer is quite shocking. Jadeja, currently playing Ind vs Aus Border-Gavaskar Trophy, picked 17 wickets in first two tests vs Australia and was adjudged Player of the Match in both Tests.

Chahal is yet to play a Test match for team India but is a regular member of the white-ball team and India's highest wicket-taker in the shortest format (T20Is). Chahal has so far picked 91 wickets in 74 T20Is for the Blues. 

"Jadeja jab shuru mein aya tha woh fariq spinner tha (When Jadeja had started his career, he was a pathetic bowler). Under MS Dhoni's captaincy, he was prepared in such a way that he is now a No.1 bowler. Chahal is also a horrible bowler. You can hit him easily. There is no force in his deliveries and cannot spin the ball much. Lambe race ka ghoda nehi hai," said Rehman on the 'Nadir Ali' podcast.

The third Test match of the four-match Border Gavaskar between India and Australia will be played at the Holkar ground in Indore from Wednesday, March 1. Hosts India will script history if they win IND vs AUS 3rd Test match in Indore. If India beats Australia in Indore Test, they will become the world's No. 1 team in all three formats of international cricket (Test, ODI and T20) at the same time.

After South Africa, in the year 2013, no other team in the world has been able to rank no. 1 in all three formats.
