Bhuvneshwar Kumar Responds Why He Is Upset With Yuzvendra Chahal
Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who was dropped from the test side by the selectors, proved his worth with the ball once again for Team India. He took four wickets dismissing the likes of Avishka Fernando, Chamika Karunaratne, Isuru Udana and Dushmantha Chameera.
Post-match, Yuzvendra Chahal invited Bhuvneshwar Kumar to his channel. While discussing the game Bhuvi revealed that he was upset with the Indian leg-spinner for inviting him late on his famous channel. As per him, he always wanted to come onto his channel. But, the Indian spinner never invited him for the same.
“I am upset with Chahal, as this is my first time on his show. I kept making signs from the dressing room, requesting him to invite me on the show, but he never called me,” said Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who was awarded the Player of the Match earlier in the day for his four-for.
“There was a bit of swing early on. With Sri Lankan batters taking risks early on, there were boundaries. In the middle overs, the focus was on getting as many dot balls as possible, and towards the death, I looked to take the pace off the ball. Things fell in place in terms of execution.”
