Former India left-arm spinner Venkatapathy Raju attributes Yuzvendra Chahal's omission from India's white-ball squads for the Sri Lanka tour to his lack of match practice. Despite being India's highest wicket-taker in T20Is with 96 wickets in 80 matches since his debut in 2016, Chahal was not selected.
"He should be playing more matches, again and again. You should always believe in yourself. Chahal has been a brilliant bowler. But unfortunately, we look more into the all-rounders. That's why we had Jadeja, then we had Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. If Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja are part of the team, you can't keep them away from the eleven," said Raju in conversation with IANS.
