Shane Bond’s advice for Chahal amidst T20 World Cup speculations

Renowned former New Zealand pacer and esteemed Rajasthan’s bowling coach, Shane Bond, recently commended Chahal’s scintillating performance against the Mumbai Indians (MI). His spellbinding figures 3/11 in a recent encounter set the stage for Rajasthan’ victory. Bond perceived this remarkable display as a harbinger of Chahal’s potential resurgence in the national team. However, he advocated for a prudent approach, emphasizing the importance of maintaining focus amidst swirling speculations.

“The competition is pretty tough, so one of the real challenges for any bowler coming into this tournament is to forget that there is a [T20] World Cup [coming up], and you start bowling to get into the World Cup team,” Bond was quoted as saying by the ESPNcricinfo.

Pathway to international acclaim

In Bond’s discerning perspective, success in the IPL serves as the quintessential pathway to international acclaim. He underscored the significance of eschewing distractions and channeling energies towards elevating IPL franchises to glory. Bond exuded confidence in Chahal’s unparalleled talents, asserting that sustained excellence on the field will inevitably reignite discussions regarding his inclusion in the prestigious T20 World Cup roster.

“If your [IPL] team is successful, you are in a winning team, selections and rewards come from that. That has more of been our focus, to forget about all that other noise from the outside and just work really hard for each other. If we do that, I have got no doubt people are going to start talking, like you [the journalist asking the question] are now, about Chahal and whether he will feature in the World Cup or not. He is bowling beautifully,” the 48-year-old concluded.
