The cricketer has been out of action since almost six months as he last played during the white-ball leg of the New Zealand tour in February, before COVID-19 pandemic forced everyone to be locked indoors. Chahal kept himself amused with hilarious TikTok videos and live chats with cricketers and celebrities from other fields.
