Ace Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal was dropped from India's 17-man Asia Cup 2023 squad on Monday as Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav made the cut.
Chahal's exclusion came as a surprise to several people including his wife who shared a cryptic Instagram story from her official profile.

What did Yuzvendra Chahal's wife post on social media?
Dhanashree Verma, Chahal's wife, wrote on her Instagram story,
Now I have started to question this on a serious note. If being super submissive and introvert can be harmful for your work growth? Or do we all have to be an extrovert and street smart savvy to grow in life?

Right after the squad was announced, Chahal himself posted a cryptic Tweet from his account on Monday that just had two emojis, a cloud and a sun. He might have tried to convey the age-old proverb, 'every dark cloud has a silver lining' through the emojis in his tweet.

What next for the Indian cricket team?
The Indian team's next match is their last fixture before the Asia Cup, as the T20 team takes on Ireland in the third T20I in Dublin on Wednesday. India will be looking to complete a 3-0 series whitewash in that game.
