Ahead of the much-awaited pink-ball Test against England at the Motera Stadium in Ahmedabad, the Indian cricketers were looking in a relaxed mood, especially after the way they defeated England in the second Test in Chennai to level the series 1-1. Ravichandran Ashwin, who led the Indian team to the series leveling win with his all-around performance, posted a video on Instagram featuring all-rounder Hardik Pandya and left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav.
In the video, all three Indian cricketers can be seen grooving to the ‘Vaathi Coming’ song from the Tamil movie ‘Master’. The video, which looks to be shot in the gym, shows all three players shaking their legs on the beats of the famous Tamil song — which has been going viral on the internet. Tagging both Hardik and Kuldeep in his post, Ashwin wrote: “Vaathi should be happy!! with @hardikpandya93 @kuldeep_18.”

Ashwin was one of the standout performers for India in the second Test as he picked up eight wickets in the match and also scored a century on a tricky pitch in India’s second innings.

The veteran Indian spinner was adjudged Player of the Match for his all-around performance that helped India bounce back from a heavy defeat in the series opener to level the four-match Test series, going into the day-night Test in Ahmedabad.
Kuldeep Yadav, after missing the series opener, was included in the playing XI in the last match but didn’t get many over to the bowl, with Ashwin and Axar Patel doing the bulk of bowling.

After going wicketless in the first innings, Kuldeep managed to scalp a couple of wickets in the second innings despite getting limited bowling opportunities. Hardik Pandya is still waiting for his chance to get into playing XI in the Test series after he was not included in India’s playing XI for the first two matches.
