While all eyes are on the IPL 2025 auction, just a day before this auction, India’s biggest domestic T20 tournament has begun. We are talking about the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy in which the power of Yuzvendra Chahal and Abhishek Sharma was seen from the first day. On the other hand, Mohammed Shami was brutally beaten. Firstly, we talk about Yuzvendra Chahal, who, while playing for Haryana, weaved such a web that the rival team kept looking at Manipur. Chahal took 4 wickets for just 9 runs against this team.
