Within hours, the video had over eight thousands views.

The 25-year-old cricketer also played for the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018.
This is not the first time a cricketer has shown his talent off the field. Cricketers like Dwayne Bravo, Chris Gayle and others have known to showcase their skills in singing. Bravo had come out with the famous song 'Champions', after they beat England in the final of the 2016 World Cup T20 in Kolkata.
Gayle on October 7 had uploaded a video on his Facebook account where Dwayne Bravo could be seen singing his famous 'Champions' song for Gayle on his birthday.
