Veteran Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has predicted that his Rajasthan Royals teammates Jos Buttler or Yashasvi Jaiswal will win the Orange Cap in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. In a recent video on his YouTube channel, Chahal expressed his belief that either Buttler or Jaiswal will emerge as the highest run-scorer in the tournament.
Chahal's prediction is based on the impressive performances of both players in recent seasons. Buttler, the England wicketkeeper-batter, has been a consistent run-scorer in the IPL, having won the Orange Cap in 2022 with 863 runs. Jaiswal, on the other hand, has emerged as a rising star in Indian cricket, showcasing his batting prowess in the IPL and domestic tournaments.
When asked about the leading wicket-taker in IPL 2024, Chahal confidently predicted that he would take the most wickets. He also named Gujarat Titans spinner Rashid Khan as the second-highest wicket-taker. Chahal's prediction reflects his own impressive record in the IPL, where he has consistently been among the top wicket-takers.
Meanwhile, former India opener Aakash Chopra has expressed surprise over Chahal's exclusion from the BCCI's central contracts for this year. Chopra believes that Chahal's omission indicates that the selection committee is looking at other options for the Indian team.
Chahal's exclusion from the central contracts has raised questions about his future with the Indian team. However, the veteran spinner remains optimistic and is determined to prove his worth in the upcoming IPL season.
