Indian cricket team spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has not played a single match in the 2024 T20 World Cup so far but seemed in good spirits ahead of Monday’s Super 8 clash. In a video posted by BCCI on its social media, Chahal could be impersonating a bus conductor as he shouted “ground, ground, ground” as the team bus entered the stadium. He even bumped the side of the bus several times while peering out the window. Chahal had a very good performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 which led to his selection and did not feature in any match of the 2024 T20 World Cup.

The match between India and Australia was considered extremely crucial for the Mitchell Marsh-led team as a defeat could take them dangerously close to elimination. Australia had just one win from two Super 8 matches before their clash with India. A defeat against Rohit Sharma’s men resulted in 2 defeats and just one win in three matches.
After defeat to India and Afghanistan, if Bangladesh are defeated in the final Super 8 match on Tuesday, the Afghans will progress to the semi-finals.
India are guaranteed a spot in the Top 4 after wins over Australia, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. They face England next.
India Squad: Rohit Sharma(c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Sanju Samson, Mohammed Siraj, Yashasvi Jaiswal
