The Australian skipper, Aaron Finch, and the Indian wicket-keeper batsman, KL Rahul was seen sharing a light moment on the field during the ongoing second ODI in Sydney on Sunday. After opting to bat, Finch and David Warner game out all guns blazing as they again managed to stitch a partnership of 142 runs for the first wicket.

In the 12th over of Australia’s innings, Navdeep Saini bowled a full toss to Finch which the Australian skipper failed to judge and it hit him straight on the stomach. Finch was seen struggling with pain after taking the blow to his body. Soon after that, Rahul tried to tickle Finch where he was hit and the Australia skipper boxed him away, with smiles all around.
