'Chal pathaan out karke de'- Virat Kohli sends fans into frenzy with a new nickname to Ravindra Jadeja

Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja not only reached a milestone of 250 Test wickets on Friday but also received a new nickname from his India teammates during the opening day of the Delhi Test. As the cricketer bowled a spell, one of his teammates was heard screaming "Chal chal Pathaan" - which led to fellow commentator Dinesh Karthik quipping that Jadeja's hairstyle is inspired by the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Bollywood blockbuster of the same name.

Jadeja's impressive performance in the ongoing second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 also made headlines, as he dismissed Usman Khawaja for 81, crossing the landmark of 250 Test wickets. The achievement is a significant milestone for any all-rounder, and Jadeja's recent form is a testament to his hard work and perseverance.

Pathaan is also the name of Shah Rukh's latest film, his first in the last six years. The title track, "Jhoome Jo Pathaan," has already become a chartbuster, and at the end of the Nagpur Test, Jadeja and Virat Kohli were seen shaking their legs on the song, a moment that captured the hearts of fans.

Here's the video from the match:

Jadeja's incredible series performance is reminiscent of the on-screen Pathaan, as he too made a comeback in the international scene after a six-month hiatus. In Nagpur, he picked up a five-fer and struck a fifty to help India win the match, cementing his position as one of the best all-rounders in the game.

While the focus is on Jadeja's impressive cricketing achievements, the mention of the film Pathaan and the catchy title track have sparked interest and conversation. The playful banter and camaraderie between the teammates, coupled with Jadeja's impressive performance, make for an entertaining news piece and remind fans of the importance of having fun and enjoying the game.

In conclusion, Ravindra Jadeja's milestone of 250 Test wickets and his nickname "Pathaan" have made headlines, bringing together the worlds of cricket and Bollywood. With his excellent performance and infectious enthusiasm, Jadeja continues to be an essential asset to the Indian cricket team, and the playful nickname only adds to his appeal.
