Ever since the BCCI announced the Indian squad for the Australia series, the focus has again shifted to the fitness of Indian cricketers. The major focus has been on Rishabh Pant and Rohit Sharma, who suffered injuries in the ongoing IPL 2020.

Rishabh Pant suffered from a hamstring strain and missed a bunch of matches for Delhi Capitals (DC), while Rohit Sharma has not played the last four matches for Mumbai Indians (MI), who have qualified for the playoffs already.

MI recently defeated DC in their encounter in Dubai on October 31 by 9 wickets, denting their chances of playoffs qualification. After the match, MI’s Rohit Sharma was seen in conversation with DC’s Rishabh Pant and MI shared a photo of the two on their Twitter account saying, “Still waiting for that six-hitting competition between Pant and Ro!”.

The ever prankster Yuvraj Singh, who has actually played for both franchises, decided to make fun of the bulk carried by both cricketers in the photo. He took the dig at Rishabh Pant and Rohit Sharma’s weight and tweeted, “Or a competition of fat percentage on there cheeks  @ritssajdeh”

He then further commented saying, “It’s like ro is saying to pant tere gaal jyada Motey hain ya mere ?”

Yuvraj’s comments on both Pant and Rohit’s weight came at an interesting time. As per a Times of India report, the Team India physio Nick Webb has reportedly told the board that wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant is facing weight issues.

Also, Virender Sehwag recently came under fire from Rohit Sharma’s fans after he had called the Mumbai cricketer vada pav on his Facebook show “Viru ki Baithak”
