‘Where is his good lady’ – Fans react to Mukesh Kumar rejoining Indian Team ahead of 4th T20.
Indian bowler Mukesh Kumar is back with Team India after getting married on Tuesday. The 30-year-old missed the third game played in Guwahati. Avesh Khan played the game as Deepak Chahar was drafted in as a replacement for Mukesh Kumar.
The 4th game of the series will be played in Raipur on Friday before the final game on Sunday in Bangalore. The series score-line stands at 2-1 after Glenn Maxwell scored a century to chase down the 223 run score.
Mukesh Kumar rejoins Team India –
The 30-year-old Indian fast bowler Mukesh Kumar has rejoined the Indian team ahead of the 4th game on Friday. Mukesh recently married Divya Singh on Tuesday. India had felt the loss deeply as they suffered their death bowling in a tense chase last game.
It is expected that Mukesh Kumar is set to be included in the Playing XI in place of Prasidh Krishna. Apart from this change, Suryakumar Yadav is unlikely to make any more changes to the Indian team.
Australia, on the other hand, have already made a few changes to the team as they head into the 4th game. Glenn Maxwell is already back home after his 104 not out on Tuesday in Guwahati, which helped Australia win by 5 wickets.
Meanwhile, Ruturaj Gaikwad came out in support of Prasidh Krishna after the fast-bowler conceded 68 runs from 4 overs. The right-handed batter said, “I don’t think so it’s a concern because it’s almost like you are bowling with a wet ball. And it’s really tough on them. In these kinds of conditions, 12 runs per over or even 13 or 14 runs per over are gettable, even while we are chasing, in the first game, how easily we managed to chase 210”
The Indian opener also said, “I think even Maxi batted really well. To win from a situation where they needed 100 from seven and a half hours and then 50 from 3 overs, I think it was a critical innings for him”

Good stuff Mukesh! You know you have very little chances to prove. This kind of hunger is needed to win tournaments. From 11 players not just one. No doubt we haven't won T20 since 2007, as everything lost in IPL money and fame.
