Skipper Kohli too joined in the fun and he lauded Rahane for his pose and said: "Nice pose jinksy." The Mumbai batsman is scheduled to land in the city on Tuesday morning along with skipper Virat Kohli.
India thrashed Bangladesh by an inning and 130 runs in the first Test and will look to whitewash it here as they start their pink ball Test campaign.
