Shikhar Dhawan interviews KL Rahul after taking over Chahal TV, gives hilarious reason for leg-spinner's absence

Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan played a significant role in India’s series levelling 36 run victory over Australia in Rajkot’s Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium on Friday.

Opening the innings for the men in blue along with Rohit Sharma, the southpaw knocked 96 off 90 deliveries to set the perfect dais for KL Rahul’s attack that powered the host to 340/6. The visiting team were bundled out for 304 in 49.1 overs as India leveled the series at 1-1 in the three match series.

Indian spin wizkid Yuzvendra Chahal has been irregular in the playing XI in recent times but still has been a constant presence, courtesy his post match interviews on Chahal TV.

However, Chahal was missing from action on Friday with Dhawan filling up for him. Not only did Dhawan do a great job with his guest KL Rahul, he also came up with a hysterical reason for Chahal’s absenteeism.

"Aap log soch rahe hoge ki Chahal kahaan hai? Finally, aaj woh apne daant andar karwane gaya hai. Humari itne saalo ke koshish ke baad. Isliye aaj woh dikh nahi rahe aur unke daant bhi nahi dikh rahe (You all must be wondering where Chahal is? Finally, he has gone to fix his teeth after many years of us trying to get him to do that. That is why neither him nor his teeth can be seen)," said Dhawan.
