Several cricketers are eager to return to cricket field, but with cricket tournaments getting postponed left, right and center, it seems it might be a while the fans will get a chance to watch cricket again. But, it does not mean one cannot have fun, right!
India captain Virat Kohli on Tuesday trolled fellow teammate Cheteshwar Pujara with a throwback image. Pujara, who is not known to be one of the quickest fielders in the Indian team, is seen in the image watching the ball from first slip, as Kohli dives on to his right to grab a one-hand catch.
The image is from India’s 2018-19 Test series in Australia. In the caption, Kohli wrote: “First session after lockdown be like... @cheteshwar1 I hope you will go for the ball pujji.” He added a couple of smileys in the caption.
India fast bowler Mohammed Shami was quick to respond to Kohli’s tweet and wrote: “No chance hahahahahaha.”
