Aakash Chopra Criticizes BCCI for Sideline of Yuzvendra Chahal

In truth, Aakash Chopra, Former india cricketer, is pretty upset with how the BCCI and the team Selectors are treating Yuzvendra Chahal. It is not deniable that Chahal, who's been key in India's team for the shorter games, wasn't picked for the coming ICC Champions Trophy. To add, he's been missing from the team for almost two years, which essentially means his days playing for India might be over.

But let it be known, the last time Chahal played for India was in a game against New Zealand in January 2023, and his last game in T20s was in August 2023 against the West Indies. Since then, the 34 year old hasn't played, and there's no talk of his coming back, even though he's really proficient at what he does in the short games. In an effort to explain this subject more clearly, Chopra threw some light on this issue in a video on his YouTube channel. Mister Chopra cannot completely understand why the team would ignore Chahal especially when he's been taking many wickets in the one day internationals, with 121 wickets in 72 matches to prove it. But, the cricket board and the Selectors seem to ignore all that, not picking him for the  and also skipping him for the series against England.

'Totally finished. File closed'

Former India cricketer questions @yuzi_chahal's omission from India's ODI plans https://t.co/o1Ch8Y8Ou2

— TOI Sports (@toisports) January 22, 2025

Chopra also wonders why, despite being someone who really shows up in matches, Chahal wasn't even considered to play in domestic cricket, such as in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. His not being there makes people question what the leadership is really planning. Chopra points it out straight, Yuzvendra Chahal has been finished. His file has been closed. I have no idea why they did that. It's an interesting case. Chopra thinks that keeping Chahal out of the team on purpose has been happening for a while. Even though Chahal has a good history of playing well, they haven't given him a chance to join the team again. This shows they're not truly attempting to bring him back. Chopra also mentioned that trying to put Chahal in the team now would be seen as going back since he's been gone for so long.

The fact that Chahal is not included makes Fans wonder if the team management is being fair to him and if they're making good choices for the Indian cricket team's future. You might hold credence that the manner the BCCI is dealing with Chahal, and looking after player careers, raises doubts about whether they really want to keep the team strong and well balanced.

In this article, we are talking about the top five Indian cricketers who have disappeared from the spotlight at present. 

Yuzvendra Chahal

The 34-year-old leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is the present leading T20I wicket-taker for India (96 wickets) as well as the leading IPL wicket-taker (205 wickets) and leading T20 wicket-taker as an Indian (364 wickets). He is also India’s second-fastest spinner to complete 100 ODI wickets, as he has taken 121 wickets in 72 ODIs. While Chahal has played for India in only ODI and T20I formats, his last matches in these formats were in January 2023 and August 2023, respectively. Although he was a member of the Indian team that won the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, he wasn’t selected in the playing XIs. Despite his strong stats, Chahal’s position in the Indian squad is slowly moving away. Meanwhile, he shined in the recent English County season but has struggled in Indian domestic cricket. It is important to see whether he can be called up to the national team in the upcoming assignments, at least for the replacements.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

The 34-year-old right-arm medium pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar is known for his incredible swing-bowling abilities, as he can swing the ball effectively in both ways. After his international cricket debut in December 2012, he was a dependable bowler with new balls in every format. He also developed his skills in the slog overs, and he has never stopped dominating with the new balls. Kumar played his last Test in January 2018, his last ODI in January 2022, and his last T20I in November 2022. 

Despite being the leading T20I wicket-taker for India during his last international match with 90 wickets in 87 matches, who also took 63 Test wickets and 141 ODI wickets, Kumar has been far from the spotlight since 2023. Although we still experience his abilities in the IPL, he isn’t close enough for his international comeback despite recently recording his T20 hat-trick in a domestic match. 

Ishant Sharma

The 36-year-old tall Indian right-arm fast bowler Ishant Sharma is still active in domestic cricket. He has produced many great memories for India in Test and ODI formats. He was one of the most dependable bowlers in the overseas venues. While he was the fifth-youngest bowler to complete 100 Test wickets, he has taken 311 wickets in 105 Tests and 115 wickets in 80 ODIs. Among the regular pacers, only Kapil Dev and Ishant Sharma have recorded 100 Tests for India. As time progresses, the new generation of Indian pacers is evolving, and Ishant is slowly becoming the past of Indian cricket. While he played his last white-ball match for India in January 2016, Ishant stretched his Test career to January 2021. 

Hanuma Vihari

The 31-year-old Hanuma Vihari has played only 16 Tests for India between September 2018 and July 2022. Despite serving the national team for a very short time, the right-handed batter put a special mark by scoring 839 Test runs in 28 innings with an average of 33.56, including one century and five half-centuries. Majorly effective batter in the middle order, the right-arm off-spinner has also taken five Test wickets. The right-handed batter is known for his patience and controlled batting and was a key member of India’s historic Border-Gavaskar Trophy victories in Australia in the 2018-19 season and 2020-21 seasons. During the 2021 Sydney Test, Vihari had an important role in drawing the Test with his 23 not out off 161 balls. Despite his hamstring injury just before the tea of the final day, he safely guided the visitors to the draw with another fighter, Ravichandran Ashwin (39 not out off 128 balls).

Recently, Vihari changed his domestic teams between Hyderabad and Andhra multiple times, where he was also in some controversies. His present season isn’t going well, and he is facing massive competition in the Indian team.

T Natarajan

The 33-year-old left-arm medium-pacer T Natarajan created history during India's tour of Australia in 2020-21, where he made his debut in all formats of international cricket and became the first Indian to debut in all international cricket formats on the same tour. He last played for India in March 2021. The left-arm pacer has taken seven wickets in four T20Is, three wickets in two ODIs, and three wickets in only one Test. Injuries and challenging competitions have affected his growth in international cricket.

Punjab Kings (PBKS) have made a bold approach to end their lengthy wait for their first title by assembling a well-balanced roster under new head coach Ricky Ponting. With the biggest purse of INR 110.5 Crores in the 2025 IPL Mega Auction, PBKS made numerous high-profile, costly and tactical deals. Keeping important players like Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh, the franchise has addressed vital areas like top-order batting, finishers, and death-over experts.

With a new strategy and clever additions, PBKS is ready for a potential IPL 2025 season, hoping to break its pattern of unreliability and win its first-ever coveted title. As it implies, it is no surprise that they are one of the favourites to emerge victorious for the forthcoming title. That said, here we look at the two strengths and one weakness of the newest version of the Punjab Kings squad.

Punjab Kings 2025 IPL Squad: Shashank Singh, Prabhsimran Singh, Arshdeep Singh, Shreyas Iyer, Yuzvendra Chahal, Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Nehal Wadhera, Harpreet Brar, Vishnu Vinod, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Yash Thakur, Marco Jansen, Josh Inglis, Lockie Ferguson, Azmatullah Omarzai, Harnoor Pannu, Kuldeep Sen, Priyansh Arya, Aaron Hardie, Musheer Khan, Suryansh Shedge, Xavier Bartlett, Pyla Avinash, Pravin Dubey.

2 Strengths:

Shreyas Iyer

As the title says it all, no sugarcoating and just cutting to the chase, Shreyas Iyer is the vital strength aspect that Punjab Kings possesses for the 2025 edition of the tournament. After releasing almost everyone from their previous squad, their higher purse value and tactical strategies have given them a chance to completely renovate their team, with Shreyas Iyer's acquisition as the captain being the foundation stone of it.

Whether clinching titles in the domestic circuit for the Mumbai Cricket Team or leading the Kolkata Knight Riders to their third-ever IPL title, Iyer could convert the dream of the Punjab Kings winning an IPL title into a reality. His impeccable performance with the willow and abilities to bolster the top and middle order is the icing on the cake. It will be interesting to see how the side's colossal INR 26.75 Crore investment in him would be a game-changing move for the team ever since its inception.

Star-studded lineup across all departments

Punjab Kings is a franchise that spent a hefty on several overseas and emerging players in the previous IPL auctions. Though many of them couldn't convert it into valuable performances and ended up on the losing side, this time,e it's been different. With robust intent and valid tactical aspects, Punjab Kings has undergone significant restructuring in a king-size way.

The Punjab Kings' bowling squad, including IPL's leading wicket-taker, Yuzvendra Chahal, reliable wicket-taker Arshdeep Singh the tall and dangerous Marco Jansen, and Kiwi quick Lockie Ferguson, demonstrates their versatility and strength. Also, under Shreyas Iyer's captaincy, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Josh Inglis and Shashank Singh are key players who will most likely bat in the middle order for the side as they go all guns blazing with the bat, where we can expect some high-scoring innings.

1 Weakness:

Limited reliable emerging and domestic campaigners

The Punjab Kings have a good foundation of elite international players and a robust lineup of Indian talent. However, their bench aspect across all the departments is questionable. They lack seasoned domestic Indian players with a successful IPL record. While players like Vishnu Vinod, Nehal Wadhera, Vijaykumar Vyshak, and Musheer Khan show potential in the IPL ecosystem, they have yet to influence and impact the competition significantly.

This lack of experience in the backup-hitting lineup might be an issue if their key batters are injured or out of form. In the absence of competent domestic alternatives, the Punjab Kings may struggle to find adequate choices in critical moments, perhaps exposing their batting depth.

Punjab Kings Set to Announced IPL 2025 Captain on Bigg Boss 18 Tonight

During a weekend episode of Bigg Boss 18, that happened on January 12, and was led by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, the team Punjab Kings (PBKS) released a very important announcement. They said Shreyas Iyer is going to be their leader for the Indian Premier League (IPL) season in 2025. This was a first  IPL team ever revealed on who's leading them by using a reality TV show. It's a new combination of playing cricket and watching TV.

The announcement, which took place around 9:30 PM IST, followed weeks of speculation. PBKS had broken the bank at the IPL 2025 auction, securing Iyer for a whopping INR 26.75 crore. With his proven leadership credentials, including guiding Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to an IPL title last season, Iyer was the clear frontrunner for the role. The promo featuring Iyer, along with Yuzvendra Chahal and Shashank Singh, had already heightened anticipation among fans. This announcement reflects PBKS's ambitions to end their playoff drought and aim for their first IPL title since their final appearance in 2014.

Shreyas Iyer: The Leading Contender

Shreyas Iyer is going to be the captain for Punjab Kings in the 2025 IPL season. They announced it on January 12 when Salman Khan was hosting Bigg Boss 18. It's not surprising they picked Iyer the individual's really proficient at leading.

Last season, Iyer captained Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to their third IPL title, ending a decade long title drought. Despite his success, KKR chose not to retain him or use their Right to Match (RTM) card during the IPL 2025 auction, allowing PBKS to swoop in and secure him for a massive INR 26.75 crore.

With Iyer’s leadership and PBKS's strategic acquisitions, including star leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, the franchise aims to break their playoff drought. PBKS last qualified for the playoffs in 2014, where they reached the final but fell short of the trophy. By bringing in proven match winners like Iyer, PBKS hopes to change their fortunes and contend for their maiden IPL title. Shreyas Iyer’s appointment signals a new era for Punjab Kings, with renewed determination and ambition for IPL 2025.
