TIL Desk Sports/ Virat Kohli, captain of the Indian cricket team, has teased his teammate Cheteshwar Pujara by sharing a throwback picture from the 2018-19 four-Test series in Australia which India won 2-1. Kohli shared the image of the one-handed blinder he took at the second slip to dismiss Peter Handscomb on the first day of the second Test played in Perth.
While Kohli is seen making a full stretch to catch the ball, Pujara looks at his captain leaping in the air. In a tweet, the Indian captain, in a light-hearted manner, suggested he wants Pujara to be ready for the first practice session of the team once the ongoing lockdown — in place to contain the spread of novel coronavirus — is lifted.
“First session after lockdown be like. Cheteshwar Pujara I hope you will go for the ball pujji,” Kohli tweeted on Tuesday. Their teammate and pacer Mohammad Shami also joined the banter and commented, “No chance hahahahahaha.”
