Yuzvendra Chahal and Rashid Khan troll Rishabh Pant on latest Instagram post

The 30-year old was at it once again as he trolled teammate Rishabh Pant for his caption. It all started when Pant uploaded a photo of himself wearing a red T-shirt which has popular cartoon character Tom from the cartoon series Tom and Jerry on it. In the caption, Pant asked his followers if they have watched the cartoon or not?. Pant wrote, "How many of you have watched this cartoon ???????????? ? #17".  That's when Chahal decided to have some fan at Pant's expense.

Chahal asked Pant which cartoon he's talking about from the picture, thus referring to him as 'cartoon'. The leggie commented, "You or Tom bro?" Chahal's indirect jibe at Pant made his comment hysterical.
