However, his joke fell flat. “The first time I met her I cracked a joke immediately. I was very nervous and that’s why I cracked a joke because I didn’t know what to do. I was standing on sets and was being all nervous and jittery. Then she was like excuse me and then I was like no, I am just joking”, the top-ranked ODI batsman said.
