Rinku has in the past asked players like Virat Kohli for their bats and the Indian captain was just trying to pull his leg for that. Surya is known for posting hilarious comments and stories for his fellow person, which is a big example of his lively personality that is visible both on and off the field.
India are currently the World Champions in the shortest format of the game and they would like to put on the same dominant performance. Now that players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra Jadeja have decided to retire from T20 Internationals, it is a great opportunity for others to try and fill their shoes. Even Jasprit Bumrah has been rested for this series considering the tight red-ball schedule ahead.
