The star Indian leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has made a massive revelation about his former IPL franchise, Royal Challengers Bangalore. Chahal lashed out at the franchise for not having any communication before releasing him from the squad ahead of the Indian Premier League. He also expressed his disappointment with the attitude of team management towards him.
"I played around 140 matches for RCB, but I received no proper communication from them. They promised me that they'll go all out for me. I got very angry after that, I played for them for 8 years. Chinnaswamy Stadium is my favourite,” said Chahal to YouTuber Ranveer Allahabadiya during a podcast on his YouTube channel.
Subsequently, this statement from Chahal for RCB drew a lot of contrasting reactions on social media. The fans came up with various different opinions, both for the franchise and Chahal as well. They took to Twitter to troll RCB for mismanagement and also blamed them for ill-behavior towards the star players like Chris Gayle and Yuzvendra Chahal.
Here’s how fans reacted:
Isi wajah se to Trophyless hai abhi tak .

RCB management is the main reason behind their failure in IPL history not Virat Kohli as he won almost everything with Team India👍

Coming back to Chahal’s statement, he also spoke about the role of RCB in his cricketing career and how his performances in IPL under Virat Kohli’s captaincy gave him the India call-up.
“RCB basically gave me the India cap, because they gave me a chance to perform. From the very first match, Virat Bhaiya showed me trust. So, it felt bad, because it almost feels like family when you spend 8 years at a team. A lot of rumours came in, as I asked for a huge amount of money. I clarified at the time that there wasn't anything like that. I know what I deserve,” stated Chahal.
“What I felt really bad about was there was no phone call, no communication. At least have a talk. I had played 114 matches for them. In an auction, they promised me that they will go all-out for me. I said, fine. When I wasn't picked up there, I was very angry. I gave them 8 years. Chinnaswamy was my favourite ground. I didn't talk to RCB coaches. The first match I played against them, I didn't talk to anyone,” he added later.
