Amid the intense battle between the Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team and England in the ongoing Test match in Ranchi, a moment of light-heartedness emerged on Day 2, as the Indian top-order struggled to find their rhythm.
Despite the challenging conditions, young batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal showcased resilience with a gritty knock of 73 runs off 117 balls. However, it was the partnership between Dhruv Jurel and Kuldeep Yadav that brought a touch of amusement to the proceedings.
As Kuldeep Yadav and Dhruv Jurel fought to stabilize the innings, skipper Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, from the comfort of the dugout, indulged in some playful mimicry. Gill mimicked the tailender’s defensive stance, while Sharma humorously imitated his pull shot, adding a comedic twist to the tense atmosphere on the field.
The light-hearted incident occurred towards the end of Day 2, with Kuldeep Yadav batting at 17 runs. The sight of the Indian skipper and his teammate engaging in mimicry from the dressing room provided a moment of relief amidst the competitive intensity of the Test match.
