Danielle Wyatt reveals she has never met funny 'Instagram buddy' Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal is one of the top wrist spinners in the world right now. The leg-spinner has quickly risen through the ranks since his inclusion in the ODI and T20I teams in 2017. India included him and Kuldeep Yadav after dropping seasoned campaigners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. Chahal and Yadav have exceeded all the expectations and performed reasonably well for the team ever since.

Danielle Wyatt further revealed that she bowled to Arjun Tendulkar that day and said that he was very good. She added that since then whenever she bumps into Sachin or Arjun or whenever they come to Lord’s to train, she goes to the nets and ask Arjun to bowl the new ball to her. She revealed that Arjun is getting very quick now and added that he always says he will bounce her and knock her head off so she doesn’t like him bowling to her anymore. Wyatt concluded that Arjun is getting too dangerous to face.

The English batswoman gained prominence in India for the first time in 2014 when she publicly proposed Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli for marriage on social media after posting a picture with him taken on India's tour of England that year.
