Hardik and Krunal Pandya indulge in a hilarious Twitter conversation with Afghanistan's spin sensation Rashid Khan.
In cricket, a bouncer is a delivery used by fast-bowlers to intimidate batsman. Hit for a boundary? Fire in a bumper to push the batter back into the crease. This is a trick that's quite effective and helps pacers pick wickets on a consistent basis.
Australian legend Shane Warne was one spinner who used this tactic too. He often used a quick-arm to bang it in and surprise the batsman. Facing the bouncer has a shock element for batsmen, and it only gets aggravated if a spinner opts for this ploy.
Indian left-arm spinner Krunal Pandya, too, recently used a bouncer to great effect. In a video shared by the 27-year-old on his official social media account, he can be seen banging it in short and almost knocking off a batsman.
"Why should fast bowlers have all the fun?" he captioned the post.
Here's his tweet
One of the first people to reply to this post was none other than Afghanistan's spin sensation Rashid Khan. He agreed with Krunal on his bouncer view and said, "Exactly we should work on it."
Here's his tweet
Krunal was quick to agree with Rashid, but asked for a 'deal' wherein the two won't bowl bouncers to each other. "@rashidkhan_19 , yes we should. But let’s not bowl this to each other. Deal?" he said.
Here's his tweet
Rashid agreed to the 'deal' but asked, tongue-in-cheek-, whether they could bowl bouncers to Krunal's brother Hardik. "Deal done @krunalpandya24 bro . Can we bowle to @hardikpandya7 Bro," he wrote.
Here's his tweet
Hardik, preparing for the Test series in England at the moment, joined the banter and accepted the challenge by Rashid. "Challenge accepted!" he replied.
Here's his tweet
Rashid had the final word in the fun conversation as he replied to Hardik: "That’s call All rounder @hardikpandya7."
Here's his tweet
We're loving this banter! And we thank the Indian Premier League for bringing players from different countries closer.
