IPL 2021: RCB’s Yuzvendra Chahal ready to prove himself after T20 World Cup snub- Royal Challengers Bangalore ace spinner Yuzvendra Chahal can’t wait to get the IPL 2021 Phase 2 rolling in UAE. The 31-year-old is looking to start afresh after missing out on India’s T20 World Cup. He was overlooked despite being the highest wicket-taker for India in the T20 format as R Ashwin made his comeback after 4 years in T20 cricket. Chahal has taken 63 wickets in 49 matches but he managed to pick just 4 wickets in the last 5 T20Is.- Follow IPL 2021 LIVE updates on insidesport.co and LIVE streaming on Star Sports/ Hotstar

But, Chahal has kept his cool despite a dramatic turnaround in fortunes in the last 12 hours. On Wednesday, he shared a tweet post (now deleted) that read: “Not Finished”. It followed a reel that depicted his journey to UAE with his wife Dhanashree Verma with the song “Aashaein” which means to keep the “hope alive”.
