I have a similar dream too: Yuzvendra Chahal expressed his desire to play Test cricket for India

Former RCB leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has expressed his interest to play Test cricket on the back of what was another eventful IPL for him. Test cricket is considered to be the ultimate challenge for any cricketer, with the demands of the format unlike any other competition in the sport.

Chahal has been a mainstay in the Indian cricket circuit, particularly in the shorter formats of the game. The leggie has registered 212 wickets from 147 matches in India colours and is also currently the IPL’s highest wicket-taker with 187 scalps from 145 matches. 

However, despite excellent success in white-ball cricket, Chahal is yet to make his debut for India in the red-ball format, and the leg-spinner is very vocal about wanting to fulfill his “dream” of playing Test cricket. 

Yuzi told Crictracker, “Every cricketer has a dream of representing his/her team on the international platform. And they reach the pinnacle when they wear whites and play red-ball cricket. I have a similar dream too.”

He further added, “I have achieved a lot in white-ball cricket, but red-ball is still on my checklist. I still have the dream of getting the tag of ‘Test cricketer’ next to my name. I try to give my best in domestic and Ranji games so as to fulfill this dream of mine, and I hope to get the opportunity of representing the Indian Test team soon.”
