“Where are you my love” - Yuzvendra Chahal engages in hilarious Twitter banter with Ravichandran Ashwin
Rajasthan Royals (RR) leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal engaged in a fun conversation with off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin on Twitter on Wednesday. The 31-year-old briefly operated RR’s official Twitter handle and put up some humorous posts.
Both Chahal and Ashwin were purchased by the Rajasthan-based franchise at the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 auction in Bengaluru last month. While the leggie was purchased for ₹6.5 crore, the off-spinner was picked up for ₹5 crore.
On Wednesday, Chahal shared a funny message for Ashwin through RR’s official Twitter handle and wrote:
“Where are you my love @ashwinravi99. no calls no texts koi or hai kya aapki life mein? (is there anyone else in your life?)”
To this, Ashwin replied:
“Thought I would just quietly blend in. I am here now.”
Chahal continued the conversation and told the senior spinner:
“AAP pink mein cutie lagoge (You will look cute in pink).”
The offie came up with a cheeky response and asked:
“Blue cap vaapas de Doon? (should i give back my blue cap).”
While Chahal was earlier with the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the IPL, Ashwin was released by Delhi Capitals (DC) ahead of the IPL 2022 season.
