The fast bowler, in his post, said that he prepares himself regardless of the team selection. He has always prepared himself to represent India in all three formats. He will continue to prepare in the same way in the future as well. At the end of his tweet, Bhuvneshwar suggested the media not write their assumptions based on sources.
