Cricketers are currently keeping themselves active on social media to kill their lockdown boredom and just like sports personalities, cricket comedian Vikram Sathaye is looking to entertain his fans. The Indian mimicry artist posted a video on Monday in which he is seen mimicking the current head coach of the Indian cricket team, Ravi Shastri. Vikram Sathaye is the host of the show What the Duck as well as the author of the book How Sachin Destroyed My Life.

Vikram Sathaye mimics Ravi Shastri 

In the latest video, Vikram Sathaye can be heard about talking about the resumption of the IPL and coronavirus but in Ravi Shastri's voice. There is a possibility that Sathaye's latest video is based on Ravi Shastri's latest comments as the head coach preferred the IPL over the T20 World Cup happening this year. In the video, he can be heard saying "I think we should play IPL right here right now. I just get the feeling that sometimes we are overdoing the COVID-19 thing. I have always played cricket with my heart on sleeve and I don't see the reason why players should not put their lungs on the line."
