"I was not expecting to play against him in the very first match. That's the only game of cricket in my life which I don't enjoy,” said the 27-year-old left-arm medium pacer while speaking to media reporters on Tuesday.
“This is a game where I can't handle it. Otherwise I would love this game. But this is what our job is. We have to be honest to our teams and make sure we do well for our teams, even though we are brothers,” he added further.
