Recently, India’s legendary off-spinner Harbhajan Singh described Chahal as the Jos Buttler of the bowling department.
“Yuzvendra Chahal is the Jos Buttler of the bowling department. He has won matches with his bowling performances. In my opinion, he is the only slow bowler in the IPL who is bowling like a spinner. He is bowling slowly in the air, spinning the ball and enticing the batters to come out of the crease and go after him. Other spinners are bowling quick and are spinners for namesake. Spinners are supposed to spin the ball. That’s where you will get wickets,” Harbhajan Singh told Sportskeeda.
