The world of Cricket has its share of rivalries, but this time, humor is in the spotlight. Indian fast bowler Deepak Chahar and leg-spinner Rahul Chahar created a buzz online by playfully teasing former Pakistan captain Babar Azam. They humorously reenacted a viral warm-up drill, with the help of domestic player Kartik Sharma, poking fun at a quirky exercise done by the Pakistan team that had already become a meme sensation.
The warm-up drill that captured attention
The original clip that sparked laughter featured Mohammad Rizwan and Babar during a pre-match warm-up. In the video, they perform unusual movements while holding a curved object before straightening up and raising their arms. Fans were left puzzled and amused, with many questioning the purpose of the drill, while others turned it into comedic content through memes and parodies.
Before long, the clip of Babar and Rizwan gained widespread attention, becoming one of those rare cricket incidents where warm-up routines caught more attention than the actual game.
Deepak Chahar and Rahul Chahar join the fun
Not wanting to miss out on the viral moment, Deepak shared a fun reel recreating the same movements, with Rahul and Kartik joining in harmony. Set to the nostalgic Bollywood song ‘Chale Toh Kat Hi Jayega Safar’, the video brought an added layer of humor to the imitation.
While the effectiveness of the exercise remains a mystery—perhaps only the Pakistan team’s physio can explain—it has undoubtedly succeeded in providing entertainment. From professional players to casual observers, everyone seems to appreciate the lighter side of the sport, showcasing that cricket culture thrives on humor as much as it does on competition.
