Yes, Yuzvendra Chahal.

“Off field performance on point” – was another post Chahal tweeted that took the social media by storm. The cricketer was seen dancing with squad mates Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Dube, and the fourth person whp hid his face, but fans went on arguing him to be either Rohit Sharma or Rishabh Pant.

I always knew i wanted to bring a dog home when my family and i were ready to have one, at the right time. We weren't sure when this 'right time' would be – but what we were sure about is that we would choose to adopt our dog and not buy one. I got aware of the horrors of breeding & how so many dogs go through such confinement and abuse to produce puppy after puppy & i couldn't allow myself to support the breeding business. When we were ready to bring a dog home, a friend told me about Groot, who was left outside the CUPA trauma center hebbal, Bangalore shelter, abandoned on the streets to fend for himself. Groot is just one of the MANY dogs abandoned everyday on the streets. CUPA took Groot in & posted his adoption appeal. When i saw Groot's photo; i knew he was the dog im taking home. Today, Groot lives in the comfort of my home & he has opened my eyes up to how wonderful rescue dogs are, they have so many stories to tell, so much love in their eyes – and no matter how badly they were treated by a human before; they learn to love, to trust again. When you adopt a dog, please over look their breed, age, gender & look at them for themselves – the loving beings that there are. shelters are full of animals looking for a loving home & you can be the change in their lives. always choose to #adoptdontshop Special shoutout to CUPA trauma center Bangalore and the team for allowing me to now wake up to a wet nose and lots of kisses! Can't wait to grow everyday with Groot. 🤗😘❤️ @cupa_india @jehosh_g @arshleenkaur

The Royal Challengers Bangalore star also recently got a puppy named ‘Scotty’ which he shared on Twitter.

Before cricket, Chahal was a professional Chess player, and represented India at the World Youth Chess Championship. Although giving up on chess due to lack of sponsors, he still continues to enjoy a board of chess anywhere, even in a flight.

The under-12 National Chess Champion also advocates to learn the game, and also released a motivation video on Instagram on how Chess is still helping him even in his cricketing career.

Since his international debut in 2016, Chahal has earned 40 ODI and 37 T20 caps for the Men in Blue. The leg break bowler picked up three wickets in the T20 series and six wickets in the ODI series against New Zealand last month.
