After delivering consistent performances in the IPL 2018 seasons, many expected Mumbai Indians’ Krunal Pandya and Chennai Super Kings’ Deepak Chahar to make it the T20I squad touring England.
However, the duo missed out a chance and got into the India ‘A’ side. Meanwhile, by an unexpected turn of events, the selectors recalled them to the Indian squad after Jasprit Bumrah and Washington Sundar missed out due to injuries.
Chahar and Pandya, meanwhile, impressed with their performance for India ‘A’ side. As a result, appeared to be the two most obvious choice to be selected for the team. Although they didn’t feature in the first T20I, it will be a learning curve for both of them.
In a video leaked on social media, the two players gave “newcomer” speech inside the Indian dressing room. In a hilarious footage, the two stood on a chair and talked about their journey in cricket.
Furthermore, coach Ravi Shastri was also present there listening to the two youngsters speak about themselves.
“It is such a great honour for me, Krunal Pandya, from Baroda, Gujarat, India,” the 27-year old allrounder said.
India are playing a three-match T20I series against England, followed by three ODIs and five Tests. Virat Kohli & Co won the first T20I by 8 wickets, in which Chahar and Pandya were not included in the playing XI.
