Team India is all set to clash against New Zealand in the second ODI of the three-match series on Saturday at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in Raipur. This will be the maiden international match at the venue and star Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal was tasked with giving a dressing room tour to the followers of the Indian team. Meanwhile, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma stole the limelight in the video by throwing a hilarious jibe at the wrist spinner.
In the video shared by the BCCI, Chahal can be seen talking about the massage table in the dressing room, before being interrupted by the captain. “This is our massage table. Whenever someone needs back relief or any kind of treatment, then it is given on this table,” Chahal said. In the meantime, Rohit intervened from the behind and said, “Acha future hai tera (Your future is bright).”
