A leg-spinner who can get the ball to turn away. If you talk about genuine spinners, I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s any spinner in India better than Chahal in white-ball formats. Yes, his last few games weren&#8217;t good, but that doesn&#8217;t make him a bad bowler,&#8221; said Harbhajan on his YouTube channel.<br \/>&#8220;I think his presence in the team was necessary. I hope the doors aren&#8217;t closed to him. It&#8217;s important to consider him for the World Cup because the tournament is in India. Chahal is a proven match-winner. I can understand his form isn&#8217;t good, so you may have rested him. But I think if he was with the team, his confidence would&#8217;ve stayed intact. Any player who comes back after being dropped, the pressure to perform is always there,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component QbQNS undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"cricket match2\" msid=\"102992980\" width=\"600\" title=\"\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/42706777.gif\" imgsize=\"23456\" resizemode=\"4\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/thumb\/imgsize-23456,msid-102992980,width-600,resizemode-4\/102992980.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>However, India skipper <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/rohit-sharma\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" data-ga=\"Click-Hyperlink|link_topic-Rohit Sharma-https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/rohit-sharma\" target=\"\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rohit Sharma<\/a> has left the door open for him for the subsequent <!-- -->ODI World Cup<!-- --> at home in October-November.<br \/>&#8220;No doors are closed on anyone.
