In December 2020, Prithvi Shaw, a prominent Indian batsman, made his Test debut. Prior to being dropped, the athlete was friends with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli while he was a member of the Indian squad. The right-handed batter recounted the time in the dressing room when the former national team captain played a practical joke on him.
Everyone is aware of the well-known incident in which Yuvraj Singh and company tricked Kohli into bowing down to the renowned Sachin Tendulkar on his debut. The dressing room custom was continued when Kohli rose to the position as senior member of the team, and the most recent casualty was young Prithvi Shaw.
Prithvi Shaw explained how the top Indian batsman forced him to run to the ground without cause.
The match was against England, and I was in the locker room. I was with Mohammed Shami and Ash Bhai. Then someone left. That match was not one I was playing. The noise from the ground is not audible in the dressing room. Virat Bhai entered the restroom after we had been around it. Looking at me, Virat Bhai questioned, “What am I doing here?” Do I know a wicket has fallen, he said? and requested that I go look for the wicket,” Shaw posted on the ‘Focused Indian’ YouTube channel.
The man forced me to sprint all the way to the ground because we were standing there ten minutes ago, and now that I saw everyone and nobody on the field, he continued, “we don’t know that lunch break was on.” Virat Bhai then remarked, “You don’t know the lunch is on.”
Virat Kohli’s century drought came to an end during the Perth Test.
When it comes to Virat Kohli, the right-handed batsman stopped his century drought in the Tests by hitting an undefeated 100 against Australia in Perth, earning his 81st century. In the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT 2024-25), India led 1-0 and won the Perth Test by 295 runs. The second Test match between them and the Australians will begin in Adelaide on December 6.
