During the IPL 2024 clash between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals in Vishakhapatnam, Indian teammates Ishant Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja shared a light-hearted moment, adding a touch of fun to the intense contest. The amusing incident unfolded in the 15th over of the DC innings as Ishant Sharma bowled to Ravindra Jadeja. A no-ball from Ishant Sharma provided Jadeja with a free hit opportunity.
However, Ishant Sharma delivered a blistering yorker, leaving Jadeja with little room to manoeuvre. Jadeja managed only a nudge back to the bowler. In a playful gesture, Ishant Sharma pretended to aim a throw towards Jadeja, who simply turned back without uttering a word.
