CRICKET
Bhuvneshwar Kumar was asked to sum up the first T20 between India and South Africa in 90 seconds. As expected, the swing king came out with flying colours!
India drew first blood in the three-match T20 series against South Africa by winning the opening match in Johannesburg on Sunday.
The victory was achieved on the back of a brilliant five-wicket haul by Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The medium-pacer has been India's stand-out speedster on the tour, providing key breakthroughs to the visitors in the Tests, ODIs and the first T20.
After the match at the Wanderers Stadium on Sunday, Bhuvi sat down to record a special video for BCCI TV. The 28-year-old was asked to sum up India's win, but the catch was that he was supposed to do so in 90 seconds.
Kumar did his best to provide a comprehensive bulletin, but the standout feature of his report was his humility. He took almost each of his teammates' names, praising them for their contribution in India's victory.
Although Bhuvi was the Man of the Match himself, he only reflected on his own performance at the end of his report.

India won the first T20 International against South Africa by 28 runs on Sunday. Having being sent into bat, the Indian team looked comfortable and confident with opener Shikhar Dhawan smashing 72 off 39 balls.
Skipper Virat Kohli chipped in with a quick 26 and Manish Pandey scored 29, taking the Indian team total to 203 for five wickets in 20 overs. Junior Dala picked up two wickets, while Chris Morris, Tabraiz Shamsi, and Andile Phehlukwayo scalped one each.
The hosts came close with a powerful performance by opener Reeza Hendricks, who scored his maiden T20I fifty. His 70-run knock included eight fours and one six. Farhaan Behardien chipped in with a late 39 off 27 balls. He, however, was dismissed off Yuzvendra Chahal's final ball.
Jaydev Unadkat, Hardik Pandya, Yuzvendra Chahal claimed one wicket each. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who claimed a T20I best of 5 for 24, became the second Indian to pick up a five-fer in a T20I. Yuzvendra Chahal had claimed six wickets against England on February 1, 2017 in Bengaluru.
India now lead the three match T20I series 1-0. Meanwhile, South African batsman AB de Villiers has been ruled out of the series, owing to an injured left knee. The second T20Is will be played on February 21 in Centurion.
