Ahead Of Indian Pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar's Wedding, Shikhar Dhawan Brands Him 'Joru Ka Ghulam'


Thanks to Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar's brilliant performance at Kolkata during the India vs Sri lanka 2017-18 Test series, the breathtaking match that initially looked in favour of Sri Lanka, ended in a draw. In fact, Kumar was awarded the Man of the Match as he ended the first test by taking 8 wickets in 96 balls.

After an astounding performance against Sri Lanka in the 3 match-series, Kumar and opener Shikhar Dhawan have been released from the Indian Test cricket team owing to personal reasons. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed this on Twitter.

The duo made a request to the selectors and the team management to release them owing to personal reasons.

While, Dhawan is expected to join the selection for the third test, Kumar won't be participating in the rest of the series and will be replaced by Vijay Shankar, captain of Tamil Nadu Ranji team. In the second test, however, Shankar will not play. Names like Murali Vijay and Ishant Sharma are being considered as replacements for Kumar.

For those wondering what the two stalwarts will do now that they have been released from the test series, Dhawan has the answer for you. While he didn't reveal his plans, he did post a hilarious video on Instagram, teasing the young pacer, who will soon tie the knot with his fiancée Nupur Nagar. With this video, Dhawan confirmed the news of Bhuvneshwar's wedding and teased him asking how he was feeling. He wrote. “Lo ji humara ek sher kal joru ka ghullam ban jaega.” To which Bhuvneshwar corrected saying that the date of his wedding is 23rd November. So, folks now that you know the date, are you guys set to gatecrash his wedding?

Skipper Virat Kohli was highly impressed with Bhuvneshwar's performance and was quoted as saying in the post-match presentation ceremony, “Bhuvneshwar has picked up pace. Bowls heavier balls that before and hits the right areas. He's grabbing his chances and is a massive contender to start every Test match for India.  He'll do us good in overseas conditions, and not just in home conditions. He's going to be an important part of our plan going forward in all formats.”

The current Indian Test squad includes Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, M Vijay, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Wriddhiman Saha, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma, and Vijay Shankar.
