On the other hand, Chahal is India's leading wicket-taker in T20I cricket. He has claimed 121 wickets in 72 ODI matches.
"No spinner is bad if he plays for his country," Abdur Rehman spoke on YouTube channel 'Nadir Ali podcast'.
When asked which Indian spinners is the worst, Rehman said that Jadeja at the start of his career, was a "pathetic bowler" but Dhoni’s guidance made him a top bowler. Rehman called Chahal a "horrible" bowler saying any batter can play him easily.

"Jadeja jab shuru mein aya tha woh fariq spinner tha (When Jadeja had started his career, he was a pathetic bowler). Under MS Dhoni's captaincy, he was prepared in such a way that he is now a No.1 bowler. Chahal is also a horrible bowler. You can hit him easily. There is no force in his deliveries and cannot spin the ball much. Lambe race ka ghoda nehi hai," he said.
When asked which team has the best spin attack, Rehman said Pakistan.
