Team India’s training session ahead of the 2nd Test against England at Edgbaston, Birmingham, witnessed a light-hearted and amusing moment that captured the spirit of camaraderie in the camp. Young pacers Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep were seen engaging in playful wrestling with India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel, bringing smiles all around during the intense practice routine.
The scene unfolded during a short break in the training session. Arshdeep, known for his fun-loving personality, initiated the mischief on the tall South African bowling coach. Akash Deep quickly joined in as both young bowlers attempted to pin down the former Proteas speedster. Morkel, towering over the duo and with years of experience on his side, responded sportingly, laughing and mock-wrestling the youngsters in return.
The banter not only lightened the atmosphere but also highlighted the positive team environment under the current management. Morkel, who has been mentoring India’s fast bowlers with a blend of discipline and encouragement, took the jest in good spirit, earning further respect from the squad.
As India prepares to take on England at Birmingham, it’s clear that while the players are working hard on strategy and skills, they are also keeping the spirits high with a bit of wrestling and a lot of bonding.
'Yahan Pe Ye Nahi...': Rohit Sharma Recalls Funny Chat With Suryakumar Yadav During IND Vs ENG T20 WC 2024 Semifinal Win; Video
Indian captain Rohit Sharma recently shared a funny behind-the-scenes moment from the T20 World Cup 2024 semifinal against England. In a recent chat with Star Sports, Rohit recalled a light-hearted but serious talk he had with teammate Suryakumar Yadav on the field.
During Liam Livingstone’s over, Surya told Rohit that he would go after the bowler and Rohit could relax. But Rohit replied jokingly, “Yahan pe ye nahi chalega” (That won’t work here). He told Surya, “If the ball comes in my area, I’ll hit it too. We both need to go for it.
This funny conversation was also an important moment. Together, Rohit and Surya made a strong 73-run partnership. Rohit scored 57 runs and Surya made 47. Thanks to their efforts, India scored 171 runs. Later, India bowled out England for just 103 runs and won the match by 68 runs.
That win took India to the final, where they defeated South Africa and won the T20 World Cup after 17 years. Rohit also retired from T20 Internationals after the win. He played 159 T20 matches, scored over 4,200 runs, and ended on a high by lifting the World Cup trophy.
This funny moment with Surya showed how Rohit uses humour and strong leadership even during big matches. It was a reminder of why he’s one of the best captains in Indian cricket history.
