India leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal on Friday caught up with his teammates Kuldeep Yadav and Mayank Agarwal, recalling some of their finest performances for the Men in Blue.
BCCI posted the video on their official Twitter handle with a caption, "Open Nets with Mayank ft. Chahal and Kuldeep." In the video, Mayank asked Chahal about his rivalry with Glenn Maxwell from a series when Australia toured India for a five-match ODI and three-match T20I series in 2017.

Although Maxwell likes to attack the leg-spinners, Chahal had managed to dismiss the Australian batsman in the first three ODIs and then again got his wicket in the first T20I between the two teams.
Maxwell is known to hit big shots against the spinners but Chahal has always had the edge over him. The Indian spinner has time and time again outfoxed him and sent him to the pavilion.
"I always tried to bowl outside the stumps to Glenn Maxwell. I also tried to keep mix-up my deliveries. I would mostly bowl to him outside the stumps, and sometimes I would bowl to him in the middle," Chahal said when asked about his plans against Maxwell in the series.
Chahal revealed how his conversation with India legend MS Dhoni helped him get the better of Maxwell in the entire limited-overs series.
"The plan between me and Mahi Bhai was to bowl to him outside the stumps. I knew he was about to charge on my bowl, so I bowled this one even further outside the off stump," Chahal said recalling Maxwell's stumping in the 3rd ODI at Holkar Stadium in Indore.
