Yuzvendra Chahal had a humorous response to Harshal Patel mimicking his signature pose during the IPL 2024 match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Chepauk on Wednesday (May 1).
Harshal replicated Chahal’s pose in his celebration after catching Sameer Rizvi at third man during the 16th over of CSK’s innings. Harshal made a sliding catch to dismiss Rizvi off Kagiso Rabada. The fast bowler then improvised with an improved pose to mark the wicket.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Chahal shared the pose:
Dear @elonmusk paaji, Harshal bhai pe copyright lagana hai 😂🤣 pic.twitter.com/CUAeZd6uNa
