‘Whatever you are doing, drop it right away’ - R Ashwin can't keep calm after Vaibhav Sooryavanshi carnage in PBKS vs RR
Ravichandran Ashwin poked fun at CSK pacer Anshul Kamboj during Tamil Nadu CM C Joseph Vijay's oath-taking ceremony. Notably, Kamboj is CSKs highest wicket-taker in IPL 2026. C Joseph Vijay took oath as the 13th Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Ravichandran Ashwin left the internet in splits when the former India spinner hilariously joked with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) pacer Anshul Kamboj, just hours before their Indian Premier League (IPL) clash against Lucknow Super Kings (LSG). It's a busy Sunday for the people in Tamil Nadu.Following Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam's (TVK) historic electoral victory, C Joseph Vijay took oath as the 13th Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. The actor, who is a superstar in Tamil cinema, formed a coalition government, which also includes Congress. But what caught Ashwin's eye is the security person, standing beside Vijay, a lookalike to Kamboj.Without wasting an opportunity, Ashwin took to X (Twitter) and poked fun at his former teammate at the franchise. "Duty always comes first, but on a must-win match day #CSKVLSG, it's a bit too much. It's a day game, get a cab & get to Chepauk ASAP, Anshul Kamboj. Big game," Ashwin wrote.Notably, Kamboj has been CSK's best bowler in IPL 2026 so far and also broke LSG's opening stand, by getting better of dangerous Mitchell Marsh.More to follow…About the AuthorKoushik PaulKoushik lives and breathes sports.
