Yuzvendra Chahal's stated ambition before the start of this year's Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 was to break into India's Test squad. He had referred to playing Test cricket as the ultimate challenge for any player even as he placed winning the World Cup as one of his main goals.

In Bumrah's footsteps

Considering the way Jasprit Bumrah graduated from white-ball cricket to Test matches, there is a strong possibility that Chahal's dream will come true soon. However, he has not played any long-form cricket since December 2018 when he represented his state, Haryana in a Ranji Trophy match. That has also been because of India's tight white-ball calendar.
