Yuzvendra Chahal's fantastic run of form in IPL 2024 is set to go unrewarded as a stunning inside detail on India's T20 World Cup 2024 squad selection seems to suggest that the Rajasthan Royals Leg Spinner is not even in contention to be selected. 

Yuzvendra Chahal is currently the joint highest wicket taker in the IPL alongside Jasprit Bumrah after picking up 13 wickets in eight games so far this season. Not only that on Monday against Mumbai Indians, Chahal became the first player in IPL history to take 200 wickets.

His excellent bowling performances have been a significant factor behind Rajasthan Royals sitting at the top of IPL 2024 standings with 14 points. The way Chahal has played this season has earned him many shouts to mark his return to the Indian Cricket team squad in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.

Yuzvendra Chahal not in Contention to be in India's T20 World Cup squad

Given the way he was bowling, Yuzvendra Chahal was hopeful to finally return to the Indian side. 

But in an insider detail revealed by Cricbuzz it seems like leg spinner isn't even in contention to make the flight to USA. 

The report states that the Indian team in the bowling department is only looking at Kuldeep Yadav as the specialist spin bowling option alongside Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel to aid the spin bowling and all round department.

If the report does come up to be true then it will be a huge disappointment for Yuzvendra Chahal's aspirations to return to the Indian Cricket team. If Chahal is not selected then that would mean the leg spinner would have missed four consecutive world cups (T20 WC 2021, T20 WC 2022, ODI WC 2023, T20 WC 2024).
