'Highlight of the match': Twitterati come up with hilarious reactions seeing Mohammed Shami wrapped up in towel

Team India pacer Mohammed Shami took it upon himself to do everything for the team on the fifth day of the World Test Championship (WTC) final. He was taking wickets, threatening the opposition and providing entertainment for everyone watching on the ground and the ones on TV at their homes.

Shami was the most lethal bowler for the Indian team on the fifth day as he made the ball talk and looked like taking a wicket every single ball. He first dismissed the experienced Ross Taylor, breaking the stand with Kane Williamson and then he came back to knock the poles of wicket-keeper batsman BJ Watling.

However, he also provided a moment of laughs and curiosity during the last over before lunch when he was fielding on the outfield and he wrapped himself up in a towel. He was laughing while doing so and was even fielding being wrapped in the towel.

While most of the fans were confused as to why he was doing it in the first place, users on Twitter then confirmed that he did that to keep his lower back warm when the temperatures in Southampton were hovering around 11-12 degrees.

From it looking like a petticoat to it being the highlight of the game, there were several hilarious reactions from the users on Twitter.

Here are some of them:
