Yuzvendra Chahal’s transfer from Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to Rajasthan Royals (RR) surprised everyone. Some suggest a rift between the two teams. RCB did not keep Chahal after the 2021 season. However, in his first season with 2022’s initial IPL Champions, Yuzvendra Chahal brought home the Purple Cap.
But since leaving RCB, Chahal’s international career has been steadily declining. The three-time finalists had an IPL mini-auction to forget and have not performed well since.
After the release of Josh Hazlewood, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Harshal Patel, RCB had to rebuild their whole bowling lineup. They were already operating on a limited budget following their off-season deal acquisition of Cameron Green from the Mumbai Indians (MI).
When the auction came down to the wire, RCB had to pay ₹11.50 crore for Alzarri Joseph and had to make do with Lockie Ferguson at his base price. The two reliable alternatives available to RCB for their spin assault are Karn Sharma and Mayank Dagar. Through a commercial agreement with the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Shahbaz Ahmed’s expense, they were able to bring in the latter.
Yuzvendra Chahal has appeared on several broadcasts whilst playing the well-liked online game Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) alongside other gamers. A buddy questioned the bowler about the new-look RCB bowling attack following the auction during a recent gaming broadcast.
The bowler’s answer to the inquiry was brief but brutal. In response, he said, “Moye moye.” The phrase, which has its roots in a Serbian song, has been widely utilized in internet memes lately and gained popularity fast, going global in the last few months of 2023.
Yuzvendra Chahal scalped 48 wickets in the last two IPL editions
Ex-RCB trainers Mike Hesson and Sanjay Bangar attempted to justify releasing Yuzvendra Chahal after 2021, but the stats don’t back their arguments.
Yuzvendra Chahal’s stand-in, Wanindu Hasaranga, prospered in the 2022 season, yet he faltered in 2023. A past injury and the field at M Chinnaswamy Stadium gave him a hard time. Chahal was among the few who could bowl a decent game at this notorious location.
The Rajasthan Royals have decided to keep Yuzvendra Chahal, and he will play in the IPL in 2024. He just had a successful Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign with Haryana, who ultimately won the championship.
