Indian teammates Ishant Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja were involved in a fun moment together during the game between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals in Vishakhapatnam on Sunday (March 31).
The incident took place in DC’s 15th innings when Ishant Sharma was bowling against Ravindra Jadeja. The third ball of the over was a no-go as Ishant Sharma had gone over while he bowled Shivam Dube. With Dube taking a no-ball single, Ravindra Jadeja was on strike for the free hit.
The veteran pacer bowled a brilliant yorker at 145 kmph and Ravindra Jadeja had no reply. He could only push it down the field to the bowler. Ishant Sharma picked up the ball before pretending to throw it towards Ravindra Jadeja.
However, Jadeja simply turned away and said nothing before Ishant Sharma walked towards him and said something with a smile on his face. Jadeja also burst out laughing before the DC pacer turned around and started walking towards the bowling mark.
