[Saba Sports News] The horrific attack on a postgraduate trainee doctor on the night of August 9 has sparked nationwide outrage, with widespread calls for justice and stricter laws to prevent such heinous crimes.
Yuzvendra Chahal recently joined the growing list of cricketers speaking out about the incident. On August 21, he shared a powerful message on his Instagram story, calling for severe punishment for the perpetrators. The post, which was later deleted, read: “Hang till death? Nope. Break their legs at 90°, shatter their collarbones, injure their private parts, keep the rapists alive to feel all the horrifying torture and THEN HANG TILL DEATH.”
Chahal is currently playing for Northamptonshire in the One-Day Cup 2024. After his last competitive appearance in the 2024 IPL, he made an impressive comeback with figures of 10-5-14-5.
Prithvi Shaw is also representing Northamptonshire, though Chahal seems more likely to be considered for India’s white-ball team for the upcoming T20I series against Bangladesh at home.
