Not worried about the flat tracks in England: Chahal

NEW DELHI: Australian batsmen driven them out of their convenience zones, handing a impolite reality check, however Yuzvendra Chahal is confident that one indifferent collection is not going to have an effect on his and Kuldeep Yadav's performance at the World Cup.

Despite his excellent show in New Zealand, Chahal played just one sport in opposition to Australia, the place he was once a touch unfortunate due to shoddy fielding ahead of Ashton Turner took him to cleaners.

"I don't think we need to worry too much about the Australia series. We have played enough matches against them. Obviously, you can't win every game that you play. The manner in which Australian batsmen played us, they deserved to win. We should laud their effort and try to do better when we face them next time," Chahal instructed PTI right through an interview ahead of leaving for England.

In the 2-3 defeat, what was once being concerned was once how Kuldeep and Chahal had been being simply read and no longer was once the staff management taking part in each in tandem. It was once Ravindra Jadeja who was once favoured forward of Chahal.

Asked if the previous couple of months were other from the primary 18 months, Chahal replied in affirmative.

"I don't see anything different in the past six months when either me or Kuldeep played in the XI. I think most of the times when we both played. It's all about the team combination and what exactly is required in specific conditions," he mentioned.

The flat decks in England can be a nightmare for bowlers but the 28-year-old Haryana leg-spinner is infrequently perturbed, having played a lot of cricket on the Bengaluru belter.

"I am not at all worried about the flat tracks in England as we are used to playing ODI cricket on flat tracks. And please don't forget that I myself play a lot of matches every year at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, which is one of the best batting tracks," mentioned Chahal, who has 72 wickets from 41 ODIs with two five-wicket hauls.

"And also when we are talking about flat tracks, if as a bowler I am under pressure, even the opposition bowlers will be under equal amount of pressure when we would be batting."

Chahal's greatest asset has been his big heart as he isn't afraid to flight the ball even if he is underneath attack and that's the reason the mindset which is helping him in opposition to marauders like Andre Russell and David Warner.

"Against the best batsmen, you can't have a defensive strategy. When you are bowling to a Russell or a Warner, you shouldn't think about containing them. They are such players, you have to attack them and in my mind, every delivery that I bowl to these players is to get them out. I want each and every ball that I bowl to to be my best delivery," mentioned Chahal.

The 18 wickets in this 12 months's IPL for the Royal Challengers Bangalore will indisputably spice up his self belief as there's nothing like taking excellent shape into a large event like IPL.

"Obviously, it was very important to do well in IPL. Before a marquee tournament like World Cup, a good IPL acts as a confidence booster."

Before shifting to competitive cricket, Chahal had represented age-group national staff in chess festival, a sport that has almost definitely helped him evolve as a master craftsman.

He fondly recollected the days when he would watch a Vladmir Kramnik vs Vishwanathan Anand or Anand vs Kasparov video games on Youtube.


"When I used to play competitive chess, I would buy chess books and read the moves made by Anand in specific ties. It would help my game. I would also watch his matches on Youtube. Now I don't get the time," he mentioned.


His existence has modified previously two years with popularity and adulation which is a standard for any participant doing well for the national cricket staff.


"When you play for India and also start performing, your fan base increases, the media highlights your performances. You feel a sense of positivity with all the praise and adulation that comes your way," he signed off.
