Although the match saw Virat Kohli equal the record of Sachin Tendulkar of 49 ODI centuries, in another instance, former Indian cricketer Ravi Shastri’s comments from the commentary have also garnered a lot of attention. When Kohli and Shreyas Iyer were batting in the middle, wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan walked out with a message. Just at this moment, Ravi Shastri took a hilarious take on this incident.
Shastri said that if anything goes wrong and one of the batters is dismissed, it will Ishan Kishan, who’ll be held accountable. “Agar aisa vaisa kuch ho gaya to chaddi Kishan ki khichegi galat message dene ke liye,” he was captured saying on air.
