Leg-spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Piyush Chawla made their debut on the famous talk show The Kapil Sharma show. The show, which is hosted by famous comedian Kapil Sharma, invites the celebrities to have casual chat. Various characters in the show come out to deliver their performance and entertain the guests, and the viewers also.

In the show, Chahal revealed he started his career as a batsman but ended up becoming a spin bowler. The host Kapil added that the tailender never uses his own bat whenever he gets a chance to bat for India.

The leggie went on to spill the beans that he steals bat of his teammate Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli during matches. He said, “Yes this is true (confirming that he uses other's bat). When the bats are distributed amongst the players they are distributed according to their batting talents. I always observe who has got the lightest weight bat and I usually use their bat. Now even players are sure and prepared that I will take their bat."

"Mai mauka dekh ke halka bat maar leta hoon (I steal the light bat whenever there is an opportunity),” added Chahal and laughed about it.

Success didn't come easy for the Haryana cricketer. Chahal used to travel 8-9 kilometers for practice. "I belong to a farmers’ family and started playing at a very early age. I used to travel almost 7 to 8 km daily on the bicycle to go for practice sessions, hence I couldn’t help my father in farming. After a certain point of time, he made a pitch in our farm which made it convenient for me to play and devote time at home," he shared.
