Yuvraj Singh trolls Indian opener for not wearing shoes

India are set to resume playing Test cricket. They had a phenomenal run in the longest format of the game winning 5 series on the bounce. Virat Kohli has led the side extremely well and has scored significant runs with the bat. India will kick start the tour of Sri Lanka on Wednesday when they play the first Test match at Galle.

Dhawan a sure starter at Galle

India will be without their regular openers for this Test match. Murali Vijay was ruled out of the series due to a shoulder problem and his partner KL Rahul is down with fever and won’t take part in the Galle Test match. India will be forced to go in with Shikhar Dhawan and Abhinav Mukund as openers for the first game. Dhawan will be making a comeback in the side after missing most part of the home Test season last year. Runs in the IPL followed by a prolific performance in the ICC Champions Trophy has allowed Dhawan with an opportunity to add to his 23 Test caps.

Ahead of the Test series, the new Test kit was unveiled by the BCCI. Rohit Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Cheteshwar Pujara and Shikhar Dhawan were seen flaunting the new jerseys in a photo shoot which was shared by the BCCI on Twitter.

However, there was something unusual about Dhawan’s picture. The southpaw was wearing a pair of slippers instead of shoes which caught the attention of Indian limited overs superstar Yuvraj Singh. He immediately pointed it out by replying on the picture.

Dhawan was quick to respond to Yuvraj, with whom he shares a close bond due to their time together at Sunrisers Hyderabad. He replied by saying that he wasn’t expecting the entire length of the picture to go up on social media. In a cheeky statement, he also said that “it doesn’t matter” as he can still carry off the slippers with swag.

India last visited the shores of Sri Lanka in 2015 when they won the Test series by 2-1. They are again tipped as favorites to win the 3-match series against the Islanders.
