Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag had some fun on social media which led to him and Yuvraj Singh teasing Harbhajan Singh on Instagram.
Sehwag shared the Indian team scorecard from the 2006 Test match against Pakistan which was played in Karachi and saw both teams piling on the runs in a high-scoring draw.
Pakistan captain Inzamam Ul Haq had won the toss and chose to bat first. Shoaib Malik made 59, but then Younis Khan made 199, Mohammad Yousuf hammered 173, Shahid Afridi blasted 103 in 80 balls, while Kamran Akmal matched Afridi in 102* off 81 balls as Pakistan posted 679/7 declared.
Not to be outdone, India posted 410/1 as Indian openers Virender Sehwag and Rahul Dravid added a record 410 runs for the first wicket with Sehwag hammering 254 in 247 balls with 47 fours and 1 six, while Dravid made 128* with 19 fours, as the match was drawn due to poor weather.
Sehwag took to his Instagram and shared the scorecard of that epic Indian innings with the caption reading: “Forget the scorecard, one very interesting thing about this Indian 11 . Can you point out ? Comment please”
In reply, Harbhajan Singh lamented the fact that he was placed at no.11 in the batting order, to which Sehwag told him that he had not scored a century in Tests by this time. Yuvraj Singh chimed in middle to make fun of Harbhajan.
Interestingly, the interesting thing that Sehwag was asking from his fans was that all the eleven players in the scorecard have atleast one Test century to their name with Ajit Agarkar and Anil Kumble scoring against England in 2002 and 2007 respectively and Harbhajan Singh scoring two back-to-back against New Zealand at home in 2010.
Here is how the conversation between Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh and Sehwag went:
