India's off-spinner R Ashwin couldn't stop laughing after former India batter Wasim Jaffer posted a meme on his economical bowling against New Zealand. Ashwin has made a comeback to the T20I side with his inclusion in the T20 World Cup 2021 squad, and he also got to play against the Kiwis at home.

Ashwin, in the first two matches, bowled exceptionally well and conceded runs under 6 runs an over. In the first T20I, he picked up two wickets and gave only 23 runs in four over.

The offie continued his good performance in the second T20I and bagged a wicket for 19 runs in his four-over quota. Jaffer was very impressed with his bowling and he praised the spinner in his own way on Twitter.

Posting a photo of a cheese Burger that lacks cheese, Jaffer wrote, "Recently @ashwinravi99 invited me for a cheeseburger and served this So I'm not surprised at all with how economical he has lately been #INDvNZ."

Ashwin was in splits reading the post and he replied to his tweet a day after the match. "Wasim bhai????????????????," he replied. 

India won the second T20I in Ranchi by 7 wickets with KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma scoring a half-century each. They had a 117-run stand for the first wicket which helped India chase down 154 runs in 18th over of their innings.
