"Feels good to be back in the green and gold, even if it is only for a shoot at the iconic #mehboobstudio in Mumbai #stillflying," Jonty Rhodes captioned his picture on Instagram, in which he is seen wearing the green South Africa jersey.
Harbhajan Singh took no time to post a sarcastic reply on Jonty Rhodes' post, asking: "Can you play the last Test in Ranchi SA need need some batting Jonty?"
To much delight of fans and the veteran India spinner, Rhodes responded: "They need much more than me!"
