Team India is well on the verge of 3-0 whitewash in the ongoing Freedom Trophy 2019 against South Africa. Owing to the 212 from Rohit Sharma, 115 from Ajinkya Rahane and 51 from Ravindra Jadeja, the hosts put on a formidable 497/9 and declared their first innings with a lot of time in hands. Meanwhile, George Linde, the debutant picked four wickets being the most successful bowler for Proteas.
Unfortunately, the Proteas batsmen have immensely disappointed as compared to their first innings show in Vizag Test, as Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami, along with Jadeja and debutant Shahbaz Nadeem ran through the opposition batting lineup. Zubayr Hamza went on to score 62, while Bavuma and Linde contributed 32 and 37 runs respectively, as their innings ended on 162 and Kohli enforced the follow-on.

During all this brouhaha, the Indian coach Ravi Shastri, who is quite a laid-back character, was found taking a nap in the dressing room. Shastri who is known for his simple attitude towards life of enjoying it to the full was happily napping away, as Umesh Yadav and Shami wreaked havoc in the second innings as well. Shami scalped three wickets and sent Dean Elgar to the hospital with a concussion, while Yadav added two more wickets in the innings.

The netizens took the opportunity and trolled Shastri for being asleep on the job, despite being paid INR 10 crores annually as the head coach. The effect became much more amazing as youngster Shubman Gill was captured in the same photo looking puzzled with the proceedings.
