Capturing a photo of Chahal practicing a defensive stroke, Sharma mentioned the absence of a sponsor on the spinner’s bat. “Plain bat? I thought by now you could get a sponsor for your bat after that knock in NZ. #GOAT,” Sharma’s caption read on the story.
A recent incident when both of them attempted to make fun of each other was when Sharma tweeted Chahal’s shirtless photo shoot for a newspaper, indirectly making fun of him being lean.
This is why we call him G.O.A.T. Those muscles can be intimidating @yuzi_chahal pic.twitter.com/favF7DQvD7

Talking about their performances in the first T20I against Australia at Visakhapatnam last night, Sharma (5) got out cheaply to Australia fast bowler Jason Behrendorff. On the other hand, Chahal registered bowling figures of 4-0-28-1 to contribute to an outstanding bowling performance from the Indian bowlers.
After Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell hit a six and two fours off Chahal, the leg-spinner eventually got him out in his last over. The second and the last T20I of the series will be played on Wednesday in Bengaluru.

Good effort by India to come so close to defending 126. Hopefully , they would have learnt from this experience and will be on the other side of the result ,next time in such a situation . Congratulations to Aus for holding their nerve and winning in the end. #IndvAus
