There was a moment in indian cricket when yuzvendra chahal and kuldeep yadav controlled the sky. chahal has consistently complimented former indian captain ms dhoni with infusing faith and confidence in him during his playing days. ms dhoni got the nickname 'Captain Cool' for his cool head, and chahal recently recounted how ms dhoni responded after the spinning bowler bowled his most costly stint in T20I cricket.
Yuzvendra Chahal's 64-run stint against south africa in 2018 was the most expensive spell by an indian spinner in the smallest format. When his bowlers were hit for large runs, ms dhoni would generally approach them and offer some guidance. chahal was anticipating the same, but dhoni caught him completely off guard.
On his Youtube series, Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzi revealed, "Once, in a tournament where I was hammered for 64 runs in a T20I in south africa, and (Heinrich) Klassen had hammered me all over the field, mahi bhai advised me to come from around wicket," chahal explained. I did that, and he struck me for a six over mid-greatest wicket's distance." After MS Dhoni's departure in 2020, chahal and kuldeep battled for consistency and lost their positions in the team in restricted cformat of the game
