Indian opening batsman Rohit Sharma shares a great camaraderie with fellow teammate Yuzvendra Chahal. While Chahal made his international debut in 2016, the leg-spinner previously played for Mumbai Indians alongside Rohit Sharma between 2011 and 2013 seasons of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Moreover, Sharma led the franchise to their title glory in 2013 before Yuzvendra Chahal departed for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for the subsequent seasons.

On June 5, Yuzvendra Chahal took to Instagram and shared a picture of himself in which he appears to be wearing a fairly loose hoodie. Rohit Sharma took note of the post and poked fun at Chahal’s dressing sense in the comments section. The Indian limited-overs vice-captain comically left a comment, asking Yuzvendra Chahal whether he was inside his clothing or the clothing was inside him. However, the leg-spinner soon responded to Rohit Sharma by making fun of his cheeks in reply.
