Speaking on YouTube channel Khelneeti, Karim reckoned that Yuzvendra Chahal would be determined to perform after being snubbed from the 2021 T20 World Cup squad.
The crafty spinner lost his place to Rahul Chahar in the team for this year’s showpiece event. Karim suggested that Chahal will want to prove to captain Virat Kohli that he should have been picked in the side for the ICC event. He said:
Karim went on to mention that while the RCB leggie has a lot to play for, KKR’s Varun Chakravarthy also has to impress as he looks to make a spot for himself in India’s star-studded playing eleven.

Karim opined that the Sri Lankan leg spinner was a great buy for RCB, considering his recent spirited performances against India and England. He pointed out that Hasaranga, along with Dushmantha Chameera, could prove to be a wicket-taking option for Virat Kohli and Co.
According to Karim, the likes of AB de Villiers, Glenn Maxwell and Kyle Jamieson will be automatic selections in the playing XI. Meanwhile, there will be a toss-up between Hasaranga and Chameera for the spot of the fourth overseas player.
KKR and RCB will lock horns on Monday, September 20. The Shiekh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi will host the clash between the two star-studded sides. Fans in India will be able to catch the action live on the Star Sports Network from 7:30 PM (IST).
