Yuzvendra Chahal interviewed his Indian teammates Shreyas Iyer and Shivam Dube before the first T20I against Bangladesh. The leggie is making a comeback to the T20I side which meant the return of 'Chahal TV'.

Chahal talked to the newcomer Dube about his feelings as he is included in the senior squad for the first time. "I just want to continue performing well. I am playing for the country now so it is a very proud moment. There will be more eyes on me and so I need to work hard and continue the good work," he said.

Shivam's Mumbai teammate Iyer revealed the conversation between them before the 26-year-old debutant went on to hit 5 back-to-back sixes in an over during a Ranji Trophy match. His innings got him a 5-crore contract with Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL.

"We told him before the day started that today your price will increase in the auction only if you hit six sixes in an over. So then he ended up scoring a hundred and hit five consecutive sixes in that innings. Tabi jaake usko paanch khokha mila (Only then did he end up getting Rs 5 crore)," said Shreyas as Dube laughed beside him.

Chahal then said, " So if you had hit six sixes in six balls you would have got six crores?"
