"I have been playing in RCB for 8 years... Didn't think they would do this..." - Chahal opens up!

The 15th season of the IPL series is in full swing in India. So far 4 league matches are over. Today (29.03.2022) Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on Rajasthan Royals at Pune.

In this situation, Rajasthan Royals spinner Chahal has spoken up about being dropped from RCB. In it, he said, "“I am emotionally attached to RCB. I never thought I would play for some other team. People and fans on social media are still asking me ‘why did you ask for this much money?’. The reality is that Mike Hesson (RCB Director of Cricket) called me and said ‘Listen Yuzi, there are three retentions’ (Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell and Mohammed Siraj)."

“They didn’t ask me whether I wanted to be retained or tell me if they wanted to retain me. They just talked about the three retentions and I was told that – ‘we will go for you in the auction’. Neither was I asked about money nor did I get any offer of retention. But I will always be loyal to my Bangalore fans. I love them so much, no matter what,” said Chahal.

Although Chahal has never played a match for Rajasthan Royals, the spinner has been a part of the team in 2010.
