Chahal offered his perspective on the captaincy styles of both Rohit and Kohli, highlighting their unique leadership qualities.
"I love how Rohit bhaiya carries himself on the ground. He's a very good captain. With Virat bhaiya, it's the energy he brings, the same energy every day. It will only go up and never down. Same energy. Every day," Chahal stated.
The spinner revealed a particularly emotional moment involving Virat Kohli during India's exit from the 2019 World Cup semi-final against New Zealand.
"2019 World Cup, I saw him crying in the bathroom," Chahal disclosed.
He further elaborated on the team's emotional state following the defeat: "And then I was the last batter, when I was crossing him, he had tears in his eyes. In 2019, I saw everyone crying in the bathroom."
During the interview, Chahal addressed the personal challenges he faced during his divorce from Dhanashree. He mentioned that discussions about their separation had been ongoing for some time before it became public knowledge.
The cricketer also confronted accusations of infidelity that emerged during his divorce.
"I think when my divorce happened, people alleged me of being a cheater. I have never cheated in my life. I am not that kind of a person. You won't find anyone more loyal than me. I think from my heart for my closed ones, always. I do not demand, I always give. When people don't know anything, but they keep blaming me, so you start thinking [otherwise]," Chahal stated.
