Former India cricketer-turned-commentator Ravi Shastri was at his comedic best as the cameraperson caught a ball boy napping on day 1 of the ongoing fourth Test between India and England in Ranchi on February 23, 2024.

England were 231/6, just after Ben Foakes was dismissed by Mohammed Siraj in the third session when the boy appeared on the big screen. Caught in the middle of a nap, the boy had to collect himself as the crowd broke into a collective laughter.

Shastri, who was on commentary duty, didn’t let the opportunity go. "Well, looks like that guy had some very nice tea," he said on air just to get a few laughs going.

With the noise of the crowd possibly waking him up, the next frame captured the boy awake but only just, as he unleashed a full-tilt yawn, attempted a bottle-flipping challenge, and well, was seen scratching the unmentionables.

And that is when Shastri really came into his elements and dished out this absolute gold.

"Oh! The big yawn. Yeah, wake up, wake up! Have a glass of water. The cricket is getting interesting. Wake up, old boy,” Shastri said.

He then let out a sarcastic and outrightly funny "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" to the itching part.

Here is the video:

Meanwhile, England ended day one on 302/7, with Joe Root (106*) and Ben Foakes (47) rescuing them from 112/5 at one stage. India debutant Akash Deep took 3/70 in his first Test match. Mohammed Siraj also took two wickets.
