MUMBAI: Rajasthan Royals spinner Yusvendra Chahal has alleged that a Mumbai Indians player had dangled him from the balcony of the team hotel after getting drunk. Chahal made the revelation in a video posted on the Rajasthan Royals' official Twitter page.
In 2013, I was with the Mumbai Indians. We had a match in Bengaluru. There was a get together after that. There was a player who was very drunk, I will not take his name. He was very drunk; he was looking at me and he just called me. He took me outside and he dangled me from the balcony," Yuzvendra Chahal told Ashwin and Nair in the video posted on Rajasthan Royal's official Twitter account. "My hands were around him. Had I lost my grip, I was on the 15th floor. Suddenly many people who were there came and got the situation under control. I kind of fainted. They gave me water, then I realised how responsible you should be if you go out anywhere. So, this was one incident where I felt I made a narrow escape. Had there been the slightest of mistake, I would have fallen down," he added.
The 31-year-old spinner was a part of the Mumbai Indians team in 2013. Later, he joined Royal Challengers Bangalore and was a part for eight years. Over eight years, Chahal managed to take 139 wickets for RCB.
