Iceland Cricket has been entertaining its fans by taking a dig at its superior and well-established cricket boards. It all started during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 which was held earlier this year when they had trolled England and ECB for hosting the tournament as some matches were washed out due to heavy rains. They had also trolled the Pakistan team and Ambati Rayudu and now, they have come forward to troll the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

It so happened that the video which was posted by BCCI had the South African players exchanging handshakes with Rohit Sharma instead of the highlights of his batting. Therefore, it tempted Iceland Cricket to take a dig at them.

"As a Test batsman who wants to improve his ODI and T20 cricket, obviously there is a lot to learn from him especially when it comes to hitting the ball out of the park which I obviously admire and I will obviously have a chat with him when I am playing the shorter format", said Pujara.
