India made a thumping start in the three-match T20I series by registering a 38-run win over Sri Lanka in the first game. India’s deputy skipper, Bhuvneshwar Kumar starred with the ball, as he scalped as many as four wickets and was also named the Player of the Match for his heroic performance. Apart from the match, there is one more thing constant when leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is with the team, the post-match presentation shows Chahal TV.
The 31-year-old leggie has often been seen conducting this fun talk show after the match for close to a couple of years. He keeps interviewing players and has a fun, interactive session with his teammates and buddies. This time Chahal invited Bhuvneshwar Kumar on the special ‘Chahal TV’.

The right-arm Indian fast bowler has also been known for playing pranks on his mates and also pulling the legs of his friends and teammates. During his recent presence on Chahal TV, Bhuvneshwar Kumar said, “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.”

Apart from having Bhuvneshwar Kumar on his TV show, Chahal had Deepak Chahar as his guest as well. The trio was seen having a serious discussion too, apart from the banter. Kumar shed light on how he sticks to his strengths in the first T20I against Sri Lanka.
Deepak Chahar explained, “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.”

Meanwhile, Chahal carried his fine form from the ODIs to T20Is by being economical in the first T20I and he also took a prized wicket of De Silva and conceded just 19 runs. The second T20I will be played on Tuesday (27 July).
