The Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are all set to play the series opener against Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on April 9. While the fans are eagerly waiting to see the league is taking place at home, players are equally excited as well and sometimes they can be seen doing funny stuff. Recently, RCB players Yuzvendra Chahal and Kyle Jamieson were seen doing something similar.
However, Chahal took to his Instagram and shared a short video where he can be seen mimicing The Undertaker’s iconic slow walk. He is the oneof the legends to have performed at Wrestlemania and the famous player ended his stunning career with 25 wins and just two defeats as well.
Alongside Chahal, the video also features New Zealand player Kyle Jamieson, who is as tall as The Undertakerandcanbe seen walking behind Chahal. The leg-spinner also captioned the video as, “The challengers are ready for WrestleMania @kylejamieson” which made everyone laught.

However, due to the rapid rise in the number of COVID-19 positive cases in India, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decided to host the 13th edition of the league in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Though the globalpandemic is still there, troubling everyone, the BCCI decidedto host IPL 2021 in India only but the tournament will be conducted in neutral venues and behind closed doors just like IPL 2020 to remove the home advantage and reduce the travel time for the players and other staff as well.
Yuzvendra Chahal last played for India in the five-match T20I series against England. However, the 30-year-old didn’t have a great show in the first three matches, he conceded runs at an economy of 12 and a poor average of 39.67 while taking up just three wickets. Chahal’s poor form saw him getting dropped from the rest of the two matches as well. He was also axed from the three-match ODI series against the same opponents at home. Thus, Yuzvendra Chahal will be looking to utilize the IPL 2021 to script a memorable return.
