On Friday, The International Cricket Council (ICC) released the playing conditions for the final of the inaugural edition of the World Test Championship scheduled to be played between India and New Zealand from June 18. While the ICC summed up some of the key points, they also released a huge detailed version of the playing conditions as well which is 95 pages long. Former Indian opener, Wasim Jaffer, who seems to have a meme for every occasion, did not fail to deliver this time either.
Wasim Jaffer shared a meme from the hit movie ‘Munna Bhai MBBS’ starring Sanjay Dutt. Captioning the meme on Twitter, He wrote: “Indian team to @ashwinravi99 right now.” In the picture, Sanjay Dutt’s character can be seen telling a fellow student in his medical college “tu samajhke apun ko sikha dena (you understand all of this and teach me later)”.

Ravichandran Ashwin has a reputation for having a sharp mind and he was always been known for having keen interests in statistics and rules, which led to Jaffer labelling him a “#Firstbencher”.

When one Twitter user requested “subtitles please” on Jaffer’s post, R Ashwin himself was happy to comply as he promptly replied saying, “Please read it thoroughly and let us know.”
Please read it thoroughly and let us know.😂

The clash – dubbed by many of India’s Test specialists as their World Cup final – is scheduled to be played between June 18-22. However, ICC has decided to keep June 23 as a reserve day to try and make up for a lost time during the match, if any.
