As international cricket continues to be paused owing to the COVID-19 break, all the players can do is to mentally prepare for the forthcoming fixtures or remember the old good time. Well, Indiaā€™s left-arm chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav is certainly doing the latter job as he recently took to his official Instagram account and shared a throwback picture with Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan. The snap is clicked at the Dharamshala cricket stadium in which the two players can be seen enjoying a gala time. However, when Dhawan came across the post, he left a hilarious comment which ignited a friendly banter between the two cricketers.Ā Shikhar Dhawan Says His Ouster From 2019 World Cup Gave Him Maximum 'Limelight' in His Career.

ā€œGood times with Shikhi paaji. #teamimdiaAlways fun hanging out with @shikhardofficial paaji. Missing our fun sessions and playing the game. #throwback,ā€ wrote Kuldeep while sharing the snap on the picture-sharing website.

In fact, on many previous occasions, both the cricket stars have talked about the camaraderie shared between them.

The comment section of the picture was filled with heart-warming messages. However, when Dhawan came across the post, he, being at his candid best, posted a hilarious comment. ā€œShukar hai bhagwan ka ismein tu mujhe choonti yaa maar nahi rahi (Thank God! You are not pinching me here). Love u bro,ā€ wrote the southpaw in the comment section. However, Kuldeep didnā€™t hold back and replied the batsman in his style. ā€œ@shikhardofficial paaji pure 4 mahine ka badla lunga ek hi baar me choontiyo ka (Brother, I will take revenge for 4 months of pinches in one go) love you paaji,ā€ replied the 25-year-old.
