Yuzvendra Chahal, the senior leg-spinner of the Indian National Cricket Team, asserted that India was the best team in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023. Despite their dominant performances in the tournament, India faced a heartbreaking defeat to the Australia National Cricket Team in the final. Chahal, in a video shared on AB de Villiers’ YouTube channel, highlighted the exceptional bowling and batting performances by India, especially praising Rohit Sharma for providing good starts.
Chahal discussed the conditions of the Ahmedabad pitch, noting that it improved under lights after the drinks break in the second innings of the final. He acknowledged the outstanding batting of Travis Head from the Australia National Cricket Team and praised Glenn Maxwell for his extraordinary double century against Afghanistan. Chahal commended Australia’s resilience, bouncing back after initial setbacks in the tournament, and acknowledged their championship-winning performance in the World Cup final.
Despite not being part of the squad for the home World Cup, Chahal has returned to the ODI setup for the upcoming three-match series against South Africa. The leg-spinner’s perspective reflects pride in India’s overall performance in the World Cup and acknowledgment of the challenges posed by the pitch conditions during the final.
