NEW DELHI: During the recent IPL match between Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings at Chepauk on Wednesday, Rajasthan Royals'
Yuzvendra Chahal
found himself at the center of a light-hearted moment when
Harshal Patel
mimicked his 'trademark' pose after taking a crucial catch.
In a playful gesture, Harshal replicated Chahal's signature pose during his celebration following a spectacular catch to dismiss Sameer Rizvi off Kagiso Rabada's delivery in the 16th over of the CSK innings.
The moment immediately caught Chahal's attention, prompting him to share a witty response on social media.
