New Delhi | Jagran Sports Desk: India vice-captain Rohit Sharma was at his witty best as he trolled his team-mate Yuzvendra Chahal after the wrist spinner's shirtless picture was compared to Dwayne Johnson 'The Rock' on socual media. Following India's series win over Australia, the right-handed batsman tweeted a photo of Johnson along with a shirtless picture of Chahal and wrote: "Best picture I saw today. "India wins the series but someone else takes the headlines. Bravo Yuzvendra Chahal!!"
Replying to the post, Chahal retweeted 'The rock' along with emojis.
replying to the post a user wrote, "The other guy is no match for Chahal.. Who is he?"
"I think @yuzi_chahal should join WWE. There's been no Indian entry since The Great Khali," wrote another user.
Earlier on Sunday, Chahal had demanded a praise from the opening batsman and Kuldeep Yadav in a BCCI video (Chahal TV). Though Chahal did not feature in the series, he had to break a lot of sweat on the field as the 12th man during the three matches. The 29-year-old fielded in the second and third ODI against Aussies in absence of injured Shikhar Dhawan. In the series decider, he almost inflicted a run out by a sharp throw from the deep which Kuldeep failed to collect and couldn't dislodge the stumps on time. Chahal was also phenomenal in the recently concluded India vs Sri Lanka series where his direct hit helped India get a wicket.
Talking about Rohit, the 32-year-old was in fine form in ODI decider against Australia. The Mumbai batsman scored his 29th ODI century, his eighth against Australia, as the Men in Blue defeated the Aaron Finch-led side by seven wickets in Bengaluru.
Team India on Monday left for New Zealand where they will be playing five T20Is, three ODIs and two Tests beginning Friday at Eden Park.
