In the photo, Chahal can be seen talking to someone over his mobile phone while lying down on what appears to be his hotel room bed. Ashwin shared the picture with a caption that read, "What is he talking about? Wrong answers only."

Netizens flooded Ashwin's post with jokes and memes with some trying to guess what Chahal might be talking about over the phone. Meanwhile, Chahal himself turned up in the comment section to ask Ashwin to delete the post. He even paid Rs. 10,000 to Ashwin, asking him to remove the post immediately. "Bhai delete kar do yaarr..." Chahal wrote as he further offered Rs. 100-200 to the off-spinner to delete the post.
