IPL 2022: [Watch] "Aise hota hai bhai yaar" - Rishabh Pant does the Khaby impression to mock Axar Patel

Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant and all-rounder Axar Patel have only recently joined the squad and the fun has already started.

Teammates on the field and good friends off it, the duo have always posted their happy movements on social media. On Wednesday, Pant posted a short clip via his Instagram story. He mocked Patel with a brilliant impression of the short-video content creator Khabane Lame, popularly known as 'Khaby'.

In the video, Patel missed a shot at the basketball hoop from close range. Standing opposite him, the skipper hit it perfectly and then put his hand out in light-hearted exasperation with a poker face. His caption "Ase hota hai bhai yaar" (This is how you do it, brother) said the rest. You can watch it here.

In another clip, posted soon after the first, Pant missed a Lay-Up. Patel, lying on a nearby couch, hilariously gestured that he missed it by a small margin. You can watch it here.

Both players joined the IPL team at the Taj Mahal Palace hotel on Tuesday. The duo were part of India's recent two-Test home series against Sri Lanka, which the hosts won 2-0.

The keeper-batter scored 185 runs at an average of 61.67 from three innings in the rubber. Meanwhile, the all-rounder played only the second Test and picked up three wickets.

The two players won't have to undergo quarantine. They have been given a bubble-to-bubble transfer between the two hotels and can start training soon. However, the likes of Prithvi Shaw, Kuldeep Yadav and KS Bharat, who also recently joined, will undergo three-day quarantine before training.
