The Indian batsman, Mandeep Singh, who plays for Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) in the Indian Premier League (IPL), shared a video of him training in one of the grounds in Punjab on his Instagram account. While fans appreciated Mandeep sweating it out on teh turf, it was the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli’s comment that left fans in splits.
Taking a cheeky dig at Mandeep, Kohli asked the Punjab batsman to lift his legs more while he is running. Commenting on Mandeep Singh’s Instagram post, Virat wrote: “Oh lattan chakk ke daud sheraa”.
The 28-year-old batsman was in no mood of letting it go as he replied that he can only lift his legs while dancing, running seems a grueling task.
“@virat.kohli lattan bhangre ch chuk sakda, daudhan ch thoda aukha kam aa paaji,” Mandeep Singh replied to Kohli in Punjabi.
Apart from Kohli, Mandeep Singh’s KXIP teammate Sarfaraz Khan also took a funny dig at the batsman. Commenting on the post, Sarfaraz wrote: “Kya slow bhag rai hoo bhai sryyy”.
