Needless to mention, the comment section got flooded in no time as fans were delighted seeing their favourite cricketers having some fun. Rohit’s wife Ritika Sajdeh also dropped her views, commenting: Little twinkle toes @rohitsharma45 @shreyas41 @shardul_thakur, lauding the footwork shown by the trio.

Coming of the proceedings of the ongoing Test, India opted to field after winning the toss in Kanpur. While opener Shubman Gill slammed a brilliant half-century, Mayank Agarwal, Cheteshwar Pujara and stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane couldn’t convert their start into massive scores. Nevertheless, Iyer and Ravindra Jadeja joined forces and kept the Kiwis on the back foot.

Besides Iyer’s ton, Jadeja scored a half-century as the hosts advanced to 345. However, New Zealand openers Tom Latham and Will Young embraced the challenge brilliantly and added 129 runs for the first wicket. Hence,  the game is somewhat poised at stumps on Day 2 and it would be interesting to see how the remaining contest pans out.
