Indian women's team cricketer Jemimah Rodrigues decided to give the Twitteratti a dose of laughter on Saturday after the International Cricket Council (ICC) asked fans who they would call if given a chance. "If you get a chance to call one cricketer on the phone, who would it be?" the ICC asked along with a throwback picture of former England captain Kevin Pietersen and legendary spinner Shane Warne acting as if talking on the phone. Jemimah Rodrigues came up with a picture of 'Bhuvan', the protagonist from Bollywood film 'Lagaan', and a funny caption to leave everyone in splits.
"Bhuvan from Lagaan, who single-handedly saved us from taxes," she replied to the ICC's tweet.

Jemimah never fails to entertain her fans on social media. Last month, she featured in a couple of videos of a jam session with teammate Smriti Mandhana.
"Apart from irritating each other this is what we do in our free time @jemimahrodrigues. P.S: Don't miss the 2nd video," Mandhana captioned the videos on Instagram.
In the first video, the two players can be heard playing a popular Hindi song "Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaoon" from the movie 'Yes Boss'. Mandhana is seen playing the tune on her iPad, while Jemimah is playing the same on a guitar, that too in complete sync.
While the two of them are seen jamming in complete sync in the first video, the second clip turned out to be a blooper as Jemimah can be heard saying that she "forgot" the tune on several occasions.
