Yuzvendra Chahal shared a throwback photo with MS Dhoni, expressing his nostalgia for the times the legend would call him 'tilli' while keeping wickets. Nowadays, most Indian cricketers maintain a strong online presence, and the lockdown has only pushed them to post more frequently. However, Chahal is perhaps the most naturally active of them all; he's a constant presence across all major platforms, from Facebook and Twitter to Instagram and TikTok, where he's known for his humor. His latest post on Sunday was a tribute to Dhoni, where he openly shared how much he misses that friendly banter on the field.
Chahal decided to share a throwback picture with ‘legend’ MS Dhoni saying that he misses ‘being called tilli from behind the stumps’.
Majority of the current Indian cricketers are quite active on social media. The scenario due to the nation-wide lockdown has made their appearance on various social media platforms even more frequent. But if there is one Indian cricketer who doesn’t need a second invitation to make his presence felt on social media that is leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok – you name a platform and Chahal is there, entertaining with his hilarious comments and videos. On Sunday, Chahal decided to share a throwback picture with ‘legend’ MS Dhoni saying that he misses ‘being called tilli from behind the stumps’.
Taking to Twitter, Chahal posted a photo with MS Dhoni and wrote that he truly misses being called 'tilli' by the legendary wicketkeeper.
The global sports world has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, resulting in the postponement or total cancellation of nearly every major event.
In a typical year, Chahal and Dhoni would be battling it out in the 13th edition of the IPL for RCB and CSK. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 crisis brought the tournament to an abrupt and indefinite standstill, delaying Dhoni's anticipated return to the pitch.
Since India's departure from the 2019 World Cup, the former captain has yet to appear in an international fixture.
