Watch: Boxing Analogy of Ravi Shastri During Toss Leaves Rohit Sharma, Babar Azam Amused
Former head coach of Indian Cricket Team Ravi Shastri is well known for his witty quips during commentary and his funny punch lines. I like a lot by the fans during high-profile cricket matches. The India versus Pakistan match at the Cricket World Cup 2023, which is taking place at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday, was not different as the legendary cricketer of team India left both the captains, Rohit Sharma and Babar Azam, amused with his boxing analogy to convey the magnitude of the event. At the beginning of the toss, Shastri introduced Rohit "from the blue corner" and Babar "from the green corner," a terminology that is mainly used to describe the competitors in a boxing match. The comment was met with a huge cheer from the Ahmedabad crowd, and even the two captains could not stop themselves from smiling.
