Team India: The most successful bowler of IPL did not play any Test for India, said – this dream remains

Yuzvendra Chahal has been India's best spin bowler in ODI and T20 cricket over the years. He is also the highest wicket-taker in the history of the Indian Premier League. Since starting his career in 2016, Chahal has played 72 ODIs and taken 121 wickets, while he has taken 91 wickets in 75 T20Is. However, the leg-spinner has not played a single Test match for India so far. During this, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Akshar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav have been selected for the Indian team.

However, Chahal still hopes to play Test cricket for the country. According to media reports, he said in an interview that he still hopes to play Test cricket for India. Chahal said "It is the dream of every cricketer to represent his team on the international stage. They reach the pinnacle when they play Test cricket with a red ball in a white jersey. I have the same dream. I have played limited-overs cricket. I have achieved a lot but the red ball is still on my checklist. I still dream of getting the tag of 'Test cricketer' in front of my name. I try to give my best in domestic and Ranji matches so that May this dream comes true, and I hope that I will get a chance to represent the Indian Test team soon."

Chahal has also not played a match for India in the T20 World Cup and that too remains a big target for the experienced spinner. On playing in the T20 World Cup, he said, "It's okay, you know. Some things are not in your hands, so I don't think much about that. My focus is on giving my best and doing well till I am playing. Be it any match, I aim to give my 100%. Selection is something that is not in our hands. Whether you are playing or not, once you wear the blue jersey and are part of the team It always gives you confidence. At least you are there, and you have to be ready for whatever is to come."

How is Chahal's record
Chahal is the highest wicket-taker in IPL. He has taken 187 wickets in 145 matches. At the same time, he has taken 121 wickets in 72 ODIs for India. At the same time, he has 91 wickets in 75 T20 matches.
