Dinesh Karthik received his first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine on Tuesday. He shared an image of him getting vaccinated on Twitter. His former Kolkata Knight Riders teammate Chris Lynn was quick to take a dig at him for wearing camouflage while taking the vaccine.
Chris Lynn started the banter with Karthik by commenting on his post. Referring to Karthik’s camouflage, Lynn wrote, “Could have at least worn pants.”
