Chopra pointed out that the ICC event will be held in Australia, where spin is not expected to play a major role. He added that India already have a couple of spin-bowling all-rounders in Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar.
Chahal and Kuldeep have been two of the star performers with the ball in IPL 2022. The leg-spinner is the current Purple Cap holder, having claimed 17 wickets in six matches for the Rajasthan Royals (RR). Left-arm spinner Kuldeep is next on the list with 13 scalps in six games for the Delhi Capitals (DC).
During a question-and-answer session on his YouTube channel, Chopra was asked if Kul-Cha’s impressive IPL showing could win them a berth for the T20 World Cup. Stating that the chances of it happening are remote, the cricketer-turned-commentator explained:
The 44-year-old, however, asserted that the spin duo have a better chance of making the 50-over World Cup squad in India next year. He said:
Chahal and Kuldeep went into the 2019 World Cup in England as India’s first-choice spinners. However, both struggled in the mega event and have since been in and out of the national squads.
“They have been treated a bit unfairly” - Aakash Chopra on Kul-Cha
Although both Kuldeep and Chahal were dropped from the Indian team after a lean spell, according to Chopra, they were treated somewhat unfairly and deserved a longer rope. Sharing his observations, he stated:
Chahal and Kuldeep recently returned to international cricket. The pair featured in the ODIs against West Indies and the T20Is against Sri Lanka in February.
