Shikhar Dhawan trolls Ajinkya Rahane on his Instagram post

Ajinkya Rahane had a rather indifferent campaign in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) where he plied his trade for the Rajasthan Royals (RR). He was appointed as the franchise’s captain and he flattered to deceive, both as a batsman and as a skipper. Later, he was removed as the skipper and Steve Smith was given the mantle of captaincy.

Immediately, Rahane found his lost touch with the bat and he churned out a century against the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Unfortunately, the knock went in vain. Due to commitments for the Australian national team ahead of the World Cup in England and Wales, Smith left and Rahane again captained the Royals.

The Royals couldn’t go to the playoffs. Rahane finished the season with 393 runs from 14 matches at an average of 32.75. Amidst the chock-a-block cricketing schedule, Rahane is taking much-needed time-off. The 30-year-old uploaded a picture of him relaxing in front of a television set at home.

In his Instagram handle, he also asked fans to guess what he was doing. Rahane captioned the picture and wrote, “Any guesses what I’m watching right now? #ThursdayThoughts,”.

His Indian teammate Shikhar Dhawan trolled Rahane on his post and wrote, “TV aur kya, (What else other than television)”

Here is the screenshot of Dhawan’s comment on Rahane’s post:

As far as Dhawan is concerned, his team Delhi Capitals (DC) progressed to the Qualifier 2 of the IPL, beating the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). The Shreyas Iyer-captained Capitals will now lock horns with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Visakhapatnam. Dhawan is expected to play a crucial role in the game as he has been in great form with the bat giving DC good starts which is one of the reasons for their success.

The southpaw will then represent the Indian team in the upcoming World Cup in England and Wales. The Men in Blue will start their campaign against South Africa on June 5 at the Rose Bowl in Southampton.
