The Indian leg-spinner had some interesting responses to the post. One fan realized that Chahal hadn’t tagged the football great and commented:

“Chahal is the only legit wicket-taking option”- Aakash Chopra on Team India’s T20 World Cup squad
On the expected line, Chahal was named in Team India’s squad for the T20 World Cup, which was announced on Monday, September 12. According to former India opener Aakash Chopra, the leg-spinner is the only legit wicket-taking option among the slow bowlers chosen in the 15-member squad.
Sharing his thoughts on India’s T20 World Cup squad, Chopra said on his YouTube channel:
Terming off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and left-arm spinner Axar Patel as defensive options, he added:
The former cricketer opined that the selectors could have gone with either Ravi Bishnoi or Kuldeep Yadav, who are known for their wicket-taking skills. Chopra stated:
Chahal is India’s second-leading wicket-taker in the T20I format. In 66 matches, he has claimed 83 scalps at an average of 24.32.
