Both of them came to know a day before that they were going to debut. After this the team management punished both of them. Actually, a day before the match, the team asked both of them to give a speech and both of them had to give the speech while standing on the chair. Both of them did the same. BCCI has uploaded a video on its website in which both are talking about their debut. It can be seen in this video that a day before the match, both of them were made to stand on chairs in the dressing room.
Often, as a punishment to children, teachers make them stand on their bench and give them a book to read or something to memorize. The way Mayank and Nitish gave speeches sitting on chairs, it seemed as if both of them had been punished like school children.
What did Mayank say on the bowling of maiden over?
On bowling maiden over in the first over, Mayank said that he was not thinking anything like this in the beginning. Mayank said, “I was not thinking that I would bowl a maiden over in the first over.
