Pacer Deepak Chahar has been added to India’s squad for the remainder of the series. India’s emerging fast bowler, Mukesh Kumar, will not be joining the Indian cricket team for the third T20I against Australia in Guwahati. The right-arm speedster is getting married and has been granted leave for the duration of his wedding festivities. He will join the squad ahead of the 4th T20I in Raipur,” posted BCCI on social media.
Mukesh displayed commendable economy in the first T20I at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. Although he was unfortunate not to claim a wicket, Mukesh left a lasting impression with his remarkable ability to consistently deliver yorkers with precision and effectiveness. Regrettably, the second T20I did not unfold as memorably for Mukesh as the initial game. He found himself at the receiving end, conceding 49 runs in his allotted four overs and failing to replicate his earlier performance.
