Yuzi Chahal spoke about an incident during his time in Mumbai in 2013. While speaking in Rajasthan’s show ‘Comeback Tales’, he said that he was a victim of bullying. He revealed that he was hanged from the 15th floor by a drunk teammate.
“Very few people know about it. I never told it to anyone. It’s from 2013 when I was with Mumbai. We had a match at Bangalore and then a get-together was organized. There was a player who was really drunk, I won’t say his name. he overdrank and then called me, took me outside and then hung me from the balcony,”-said Chahal.
He further added – “Luckily my hand was around his neck. If I had lost the grip, we were on the 15th floor. Thankfully, a few people came and got things in control. I kind of fainted after that. That day I realized how important it is to stay responsible when we go anywhere.”
