Former Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan has added a touch of humour to Ravindra Jadeja‘s recent Instagram post.
The all-rounder, who has been enjoying a well-deserved break from cricket, shared pictures with his mare on Monday, September 2. “She’s very good at posing #poser,” he captioned his post.
Dhawan, known for his light-hearted nature, couldn’t resist leaving a playful comment on Jadeja’s post.
He wrote, “Better then you,” poking fun at the all-rounder’s posing skills.
