Yuzvendra Chahal's hilarious banter with Ritika Sajdeh over in-flight pictures
Apart from his cricketing skills, the seasoned leggie is known for having a great sense of humor. The same came to the fore recently when he engaged in some online banter with Indian captain Rohit Sharma’s wife Ritika Sajdeh.
India headed to the West Indies for their ongoing tour a few days back. All-rounder Shardul Thakur shared a couple of in-flight pictures with the leggie on his official Instagram handle.
Reacting to the image, Ritika wrote that the two cricketers looked like a couple. She commented:
"What a coupley photo"
To this, the leg-spinner replied:
"@ritssajdeh coupley only with my rohitaaaa shramaaaa bhabhi #loyalty ❤️🤣."
Ritika and Chahal like pulling each other’s leg and Rohit is mostly the subject of discussion in their banter.
The 31-year-old spinner has an impressive white ball record for India. In 64 ODIs, he has claimed 111 wickets at an average of 26.76. In T20Is, he is India’s leading wicket-taker, having picked up 79 scalps in 62 matches while averaging 23.94.
