<p>Devdutt Padikkal has made a name for himself with his consistent performances for the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Karnataka domestic cricket team.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Many fans and experts believe Devdutt Padikkal could be a decent backup opening batter for the Indian cricket team in white-ball formats.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Padikkal has played 40 T20 matches in his career, amassing 1,495 runs at a strike rate of 146.28. He has registered two centuries and 11 half-centuries in his domestic T20 career.</p>

<p>Speaking of his record in the IPL, the 21-year-old has scored 668 runs in 21 innings. His strike rate in the league is 131.76, while his highest score has been 101.</p>

<p>It was a promising India debut from Padikkal, who looked guaranteed and sure at the crease. He would look to end the series on a high on Thursday, July 29.</p>

<p>Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who won the Player of the Match award in the first T20I of a three-match series against Sri Lanka is seemingly upset with spinner Yuzvendra Chahal. The seamer finished with 4-22 and guided India's victory over Lankans by 38 runs. Recently, the pacer made his maiden appearance on 'Chahal TV' and jokingly said that he is "upset" as Yuzi never called him on the show before.&nbsp;</p>

<p>'Chahal TV' is basically a show, that the spinner hosts with his teammates and sometimes with opponents also. From fun banter to discussing matches, Chahal presents a talk show, which is apparently very popular among fans.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This time, it was Bhuvneshwar Kumar who got the opportunity but he cheekily expressed his thoughts on not featuring on 'Chahal TV' since its start.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;"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," said Bhuvneshwar Kumar when Chahal hosted a segment after India's win the first T20I.&nbsp;</p>
