Rajasthan Royals (RR) spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has revealed a terrifying incident during IPL 2013 in Bengaluru when he was hung from the 15th-floor balcony of a hotel by an inebriated bully cricketer, which left him "kind of fainted".
Reacting to this, former India opener Virender Sehwag has requested Yuzvendra Chahal to name the cricketer.
“Important to reveal name of player who as per Chahal did this to him in a drunk state. If true, this cannot be treated as fun, important to know what happened and what action was taken considering the seriousness of this,” Virender Sehwag wrote on Twitter.
Chahal's revelation against the unnamed cricketer has gone viral, with his fans demanding the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) take action against the player.
Speaking to Rajasthan Royals team-mate Ravichandran Ashwin in a video shared by the IPL franchise, Chahal said he was revealing the frightening story for the first time.
Several of Chahal's fans urged the cricketer to disclose the name of the player so that action could be taken.
“Had if Chahal fallen off the balcony on that 2013 night, he would have been sent to the only hospital in Mumbai-"The Cooper hospital" and they would have declared it as a suicide! Case closed!” a user wrote on Twitter.
“Mumbai Indians tried to throw Chahal from 15th floor balcony in 2013, permanent ban is the only option to save dignity of IPL & life of our players,” shared another user.
