The premier Indian cricketers, Yuzvendra Chahal and Rohit Sharma has often been their online banter after the leg-spinner posted a picture on his Instagram handle with India teammate Shreyas Iyer from New Zealand’s Tauranga on Instagram. In the photo, Iyer is seen sitting on a sofa and Chahal is hugging him from behind.

Captioning the picture along with a hug emoji, Chahal, wrote: “Got your back always”. Rohit Sharma crashed their bromance and commented “Apna sambal le pehele (Watch your own back first)”. Chahal wasted no time in responding as he told the opener to not to be jealous and reassuring Rohit that his next picture will feature the destructive opener.

The banter between the two left fans in splits, with one even calling Rohit the “Zlatan of cricket”, referring to the outspoken Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

You can see their hilarious banter here:

Chahal and Iyer are currently in New Zealand for the ongoing ODI series which the hosts are leading by 2-0 margin. India lost the first two ODIs, despite Iyer scoring a century in the first and a half-century in the second match and will be looking to salvage some pride when they take on the hosts at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Tuesday.

 Sharma, who was part of India’s 5-0 T20I series whitewash against New Zealand, was ruled out of the ODI and Test series with a calf injury.
