Top 5 Yuzvendra Chahal Quotes
I don't want to bulk up as that would affect my bowling and running style. I have learnt to accept my body and I handle criticism positively.
I realized that at the World Cup - which incidentally was my first ever World Cup - the media would be commenting not only on our game, but also on our different styles. That's why I decided to seek professional help to put my looks together.
To kill time, I went to learn dance and there I met my to-be wife. She is a choreographer.
Sometimes giving a single is better than risk being hit around. You can then attack to take wickets.
Honestly, I didn't expect my call-up. I was just playing my game and will continue giving my best. Rest will be taken care by selectors. If they think I am good enough, they will take me in. Champions Trophy is a very big stage and there will be lot more opportunities for me in the coming future.
