Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and wrestler Sangeeta Phogat were seen having some fun in a video that has gone viral on social media. Chahal has been out of the Indian team for quite some time now and recently was excluded from the list of BCCI central contracts as well.
Meanwhile, the viral video is from the Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa wrap-up party on Friday. In the video, Sangeeta Phogat is seen lifting the cricketer on her shoulders and spinning him before the cricketer requests her to stop as his head was seemingly spinning.
Chahal's wife Dhanashree Verma is among the five finalists in the dance reality show and he earlier requested fans to vote for her.
Here is the video:
Former India opener Aakash Chopra has expressed his surprise over the leg spinner being excluded from the central contracts of the BCCI.
"I am a bit surprised that Yuzi Chahal's name is not there. Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, and Shikhar Dhawan - their names not being there, I can understand. Even Deepak Hooda for that matter. But Chahal's name not being there - what does that signify? It seems to indicate that they (BCCI) are looking in a different direction. This is a validation of the theory. He might have had a ray of hope, but it wasn't to be. His name is not there," said Chopra on his YouTube channel.
