Ravichandran Ashwin makes Makhaya Ntini sing Bollywood song

Ravichandran Ashwin caught up with Ntini after the second Test match between South Africa and India in Cape Town. The two are not unfamiliar with each other as both were teammates during the IPL 2009 season. The pair made big contributions to CSK during their 2008-09 season together. To make the little CSK reunion memorable, Ashwin requested Ntini to send a message to his CSK followers. Following that, Ntini sang a cult Bollywood song for Chennai Super Kings' fans.

"That's for the CSK fans, you can say Hello to them," Ashwin asked Ntini.
The South Africans started singing the song, "Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Mein....Khayal Aane Aane (originally Khayal aata hain)", which means 'Sometimes I think about you in my heart'.

India vs South Africa 2nd Test ended inside 4 sessions

The presence of a patch of grass at the Newlands' pitch proved to be disastrous for the 2nd IND vs SA Test. Apparently, it was kept to protect the surface from developing cracks and indeed it became a troublesome factor. The uneven bounce generated off the track left the batsmen quizzing, which promulgated them to take the aggressive route. Even when the target was as low as 78, Team India did not sit back and took a defensive stance. The approach was clear i.e., to waste no time and score freely as considering how the pitch fared, complacency was seemingly not the luxury India could afford.

The falling of wickets, and batsmen resorting to fearless cricket, made the Test match last less than 108 overs, becoming the shortest in the history of cricket.
