Mumbai, July 11: Leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who was a part of India's T20 World Cup team, was felicitated by Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Thursday. The Chief Minister felicitated Chahal with a shawl and an idol and congratulated the Indian spinner for their triumph. Chahal was a part of the 15-player squad but didn't feature in a single match throughout India's unbeaten campaign. After securing a spot in the Super 8 on a tricky surface in New York that came to the assistance of pacers, India enforced a change in their playing XI.

In the West Indies, where pitches turned out to be duel-faced, Kuldeep Yadav was preferred over Chahal in the playing XI. The 'Chinaman' spinner was brought in place of Mohammed Siraj and produced match-winning performances, picking 10 wickets in five matches at an economy of 6.95.
