"Here we go AGAIN!" - Yuzvendra Chahal thrilled to receive ODI call-up for India against South Africa

Veteran leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has been called up to the Indian ODI squad for the three matches to be played against South Africa next month. Chahal was excluded from the ODI World Cup squad and that had raised quite a few eyebrows.

However, the leg-spinner went back to domestic cricket, worked hard and has now been rewarded with a call-up back to the ODI format. Chahal took to X (formerly Twitter) to post a picture of himself in action for India.

Here's what he wrote:

"Here we go AGAIN! 🇮🇳💙"

Yuzvendra Chahal is fresh off a terrific performance in Vijay Hazare Trophy

Chahal seemed understandably hurt after being left out of the 2023 ODI World Cup squad. He also posted a cryptic tweet with a smiling emoji when he was ignored from the T20Is against Australia.

However, the veteran spinner dished out a fantastic performance for Haryana against Uttarakhand in the 2023 Vijay Hazare Trophy, picking up figures of 6/26. It will be interesting to see how the Men in Blue rotate their spinners with the likes of Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel and even Washington Sundar in the ODI squad.
