Yuzvendra Chahal shares deep regret over MS Dhoni’s emotional last game for India

Indian leg Spinner Yuzvendra Chahal recently talked about regret his career: Mrs. Dhoni’s performance in the last match for India. He shared his thoughts years after India’s 2019 World Cup semifinals lost to New Zealand. Raj Samani Podcast remembered the important match, remembered by many fans because of the exhaustion of Dhoni. Chahal, who played in the game, said bowling is not as good as it should be.

“Mahi Bhai’s (Ms Dhoni’s) was the last match. “This feeling still stays with me. I could push myself a little more, maybe I could bowling better, and maybe I could give 10-15 less running.”

In the 2019 World Cup semifinal, India needed 240 runs to win. Dhoni kept India in the game with 72 balls in the game with 72 balls, but sealed their fate of late exhaustion. Chahan fought the ball and accepted 63 runs in 10 seas. More than six economy ratio made him the most expensive bowling player in India in this important match.

“Sometimes, in your thickness, things are so fast, you can’t really get a moment to think,” he reflects, trying to explain the intensity of the situation. “If I was a little more calm, I could have performed even better. I certainly gave me all, but the semi-final was a big stage, and in these cases, you need to find extra 10-15% for yourself.”

In August 2020, Dhoni retired from the international cricket people a little longer than a year after the World Cup semifinal. For the first playing for India under Dhoni in 2016, this match clearly meant a lot for him. While Chahal had good performances in the white ball cricket for many years, the Indian team management did not choose him after August 2023 and he was not even on the squad of the 2023 ODI World Cup. He returned to the 2024 T20 World Cup, but he did not play in any match and was later outside the team.
