India spinner R Ashwin compared teammate Cheteshwar Pujara's pose while run-out during the second innings of the recently concluded Test match against England with superhit movie Baahubali's famous character Kattappa.
Pujara got out in an unfortunate manner during the third day of the second Test. He stepped out to tackle Moeen Ali's delivery but lost grip of the bat while returning to the crease.
Although the 33-year-old comfortably put his bat inside the crease on time, he couldn't keep a hold on his bat. He even tried to put his foot inside the crease but it seems to be too late as Ollie Pope at short-leg threw the ball quickly to wicketkeeper Ben Foakes who dislodged the bails.
After India won the second Test by 317 runs, Ashwin, who won the Player-of-the-Match award for his all-round performance, took to Instagram and shared a picture and wrote, "Kattapa vs Chettappa". He also tagged Pujara in the Instagram story.
Ashwin had a memorable match as he went on to pick 8 wickets in the match and scored a hundred. His bowling figures in the two innings are 5/43 and 3/53.
