Manchester City forward Jack Grealish shines after IPL champions Chennai Super Kings’ players send him challenge on social media
The crossover of the Premier Leagues was something we did not know we needed. As both the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the English Premier League (EPL) continue their race for the titles, it seems the players have found their way to have some fun.
In an Instagram reel, Manchester City forward Jack Grealish challenged the IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to take the 'Keepie Uppie Challenge.' In this challenge, the cricketers would have to juggle the football without dropping it in one go, and the highest count wins.
Rajvardhan Hangargekar took the challenge and secured four keepie uppies, while Nishant Sindhu managed 10. After having fun, Chennai Super Kings' cricketer Prashant Solanki asked Manchester City to take the challenge as well, but with a twist. The footballers were asked to do keepie uppies with a cricket bat and ball.
City's Rico Lewis and Matheus Nunes accept the challenge. However, Jack Grealish outshined them all with 56 keepie uppies with a cricket bat and ball.
