India started the series in a great way by defeating host Sri Lanka by 43 runs in the first T20 International match at Pallekele on Saturday. Batting first, the Indian batsmen scored more than 200 and put the home team under pressure. But after the match, Ashish Nehra said something about Yashasvi Jaiswal that even Yashasvi Jaiswal was surprised to hear.
Now its video is going viral on social media, in which Yashasvi is seen just smiling on Ashish Nehra’s question. Actually, after the first match of the three-match T20 series being played between India and Sri Lanka, Ashish Nehra made fun of Yashasvi. In the viral video, it can be seen that there was a conversation between former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja and him regarding the match.
Then Yashasvi Jaiswal joined the field through video call and Ajay Jadeja asked what difference does it make when Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are on the field? Before Yashasvi could answer this question, Nehra jumped in and laughingly said that as Jadeja asked what difference does it make when Rohit-Virat are on the field… so I think whatever strokes I have seen of yours, you would have had to play them in the nets. As soon as Nehra said this, Jaiswal also started laughing.
Nehraji never disappoints.
