The Indian cricketers including the likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav, and Washington Sundar happened to pay a visit to the Mahakaleshwar temple of Ujjain just ahead of the third and last of the three-match ODI series against New Zealand. The men in blue will lock horns with the Kiwis in the last match of the series at the Holkar Stadium in Indore.
SKY, Kuldeep, and Sundar attended Bhasma Aarti of Baba Mahakal and prayed for the well-being and health recovery of their injured teammate and prolific Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant. Notably, the 25-year-old met a horrific accident last month on the 30th of December on the Delhi-Dehradun Highway while he was driving from Delhi to Dehradun.
The picture of Indian players praying in Mahakaleshwar Temple was shared by the ANI from their official Twitter handle. These images went viral over social media within minutes of being shared on the micro-blogging site.
But the Indian fans being the Indian fans as always noticed a look-a-like of Indian specialist Test batter Ajinkya Rahane. They didn’t make it late anymore to react to the pictures and asked what Rahane was doing there with the Indian team.
Here’s how fans reacted after spotting the look-a-like of Ajinkya Rahane:
