India is currently under lockdown to prevent COVID-19 and stars have been entertaining fans in interesting ways from home. While some have been performing online concerts from home, some have been doing household chores. However, Saiyami Kher spent time by playing cricket at home.
The Mirzya star is an avid cricket and sports buff, with her batting skills often impressing some of the best in the business, and it was no different this time. Playing with the tennis ball, the actor plays some fine defensive shots, most of them, from the middle of the willow, straight back to the bowler, and one towards the shelf to the leg side.
Here's the post

Netizens were impressed with her ‘afternoon sessions’, and compared her to the legends of the game. One posted a GIF of Rahul Dravid playing a similar shot. Another wrote how ‘The Wall’, as Dravid was known as, would be proud of the manner she was blocking the ball.

Be it saying she was in the ‘wrong profession’ or that she should join the Indian Women’s team, there were praises galore for Saiyami.
Interesting bit is that even Ajinkya Rahane and Saina Nehwal were impressed and liked her post. The point to note is Saiyami are friends and even have played cricket together during a New Year’s outing.
Happy New year!
