There is no hiding to the fact that the fans of Indian cricket team have started to enjoy the recently released chat show called the ‘Chahal TV’. Hosted by India leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, the chat happens between him and other Indian cricketers.
The episodes are shot at regular intervals with the background shifting from the ground, dressing room or even the roads of Hamilton. In the latest episode of the chat show, Chahal hosted fellow spinner Kuldeep Yadav and rookie Indian players in Khaleel Ahmed and Shubman Gill after their gym session.
Gill, who is on his maiden tour with the senior team and has the backing of former Indian captains in Sunil Gavaskar and Sourav Ganguly, was asked about his experience so far. “It feels great to be a part of the Indian team. Everyone has given me a warm welcome,” Gill was quoted as saying.
Pacer Khaleel Ahmed, who is yet to play a match on this tour but looks certain to be given a chance in the imminent ODIs, was asked about training in the gym despite it being a travel day.
“I have to keep myself fit because the opportunity can come anytime. Working out on a daily basis should be an individual’s habit. If you will take care of your body, only then will you be able to play for a longer duration,” Ahmed said about feeling motivated for putting the hard yards in the gym.
Yadav, who refused Chahal’s accusations of working out more than required, laid emphasis on following the given training schedule. He also talked about the senior players in the team motivating the youngsters regularly.
“I’d like to add that our senior players like Rohit bhai, Virat bhai and Kedar Jadhav motivate us a lot. When they motivate us, we get the feeling of doing better on the field,” Yadav mentioned.
