India spinner Yuzvendra Chahal on Thursday said it is unfair to expect a cricketer to perform in every single match. However, he addressed the importance of the upcoming series against Sri Lanka, saying he will try to do his level best. Sri Lanka and India will square off in three ODIs and three T20Is, beginning July 13. While Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been named vice-captain, Shikhar Dhawan will lead the team which will be coached by former India skipper and NCA head Rahul Dravid.

"My performance -- I don't think it was a dip in form or anything. You can't perform in every match. I will try my level best. This series is very important to me. I keep having conversations with the bowling coach. The management has given us confidence, and that's why I'm here. If it wasn't there, no one in the team would be here," said Chahal during a virtual press conference. "My main focus at the moment is just this series -- there's been lesser cricket over the last year, but that's not in our hands. Whatever series happens, we want to perform. After this series, my focus will be on the IPL, and only then the T20 World Cup. Right now, I'm focusing on this tour only," he added.
