Chahal does not want comparisons of him and Kuldeep with Ashwin, Jadeja

Bengaluru, December 18: Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav might have become the premier choice spinners in one-day cricket. But Chahal said they cannot be compared to the senior pros - R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja.

"Ashwin and Jadeja have done so much in the last 5-6 years. We have played only for four-five series. If you start comparing now itself to them, it will not be right. We have played most of our games in India, one series in Sri Lanka where conditions were similar to India. We have not played much overseas," Chahal said.

Chahal said his dismissal of Angelo Mathews would forever etched in his memory.

"I was getting turn from the other end while bowling quickly or slowly. I wanted to vary my pace. When you bowl flatter, the batsman thinks that the ball will not turn much. The ball to Mathews drifted in and turned away by which he played down the wrong line and got bowled. It was the ball of the match for me," Chahal said.

Chahal said he was not thinking about South Africa tour at the moment.

"The wickets in South Africa will be good and flat but there will be some extra bounce. That is the plus point there. We have a break for a month after the T20I series. I have a habit of taking it one series at a time. I am not thinking about South Africa at all," Chahal said.
