The recent setback for Chahal on the cricketing front

Switching gears to the cricketing front, Chahal recently faced a setback as he found himself among the seven cricketers who lost their central contracts with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for the 2023/24 season. Previously part of the Grade C pay scale, Chahal failed to retain his national contract.

With the T20 World Cup on the horizon, Chahal would be determined to impress the selectors and reclaim his spot on the international stage.
