Yuzvendra Chahal was not named in the playing XI of his national squad in the recent clash against the Aussies. Chahal, who has been in and out of the playing XI in recent times, makes his presence feel during the post-match interviews as he hosts the much-popular Chahal TV. However, the leggie was replaced by Dhawan on Friday who came up with a hilarious reason for Chahal's absence from his very own 'Chahal TV'. "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.

Meanwhile, Dhawan praised KL Rahul for his superb knock despite playing at no. 5 down the order. "It helps that I have been scoring runs in previous series in the last month. I had the confidence and I used my form well. Playing at No.3 or No.5 as an opener is a different challenge but I was ready for it. I wanted to enjoy it. Today it came off and a lot of credit goes to you guys and the start you guys gave and the way Virat (Kohli) kept going on," said KL Rahul.
