Sri Lanka vs India: Yuzvendra Chahal Posts Team India's "Gossip Time" Picture From Colombo

Indian players are enjoying their stay in Sri Lanka ahead of their white-ball series against the island nation and leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal's latest post on Twitter is proof of that. On Friday, the star Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) bowler posted a snap with the Indian squad and captioned it "Gossip time." In the photograph, the players could be seen having a very serious discussion. From the look on his face, it seems India's Mumbai Indians (MI) batsman Suryakumar Yadav is narrating an interesting story. While Navdeep Saini smiles for the camera, Manish Pandey has a serious expression on his face. On the other hand, the other three players in the picture - Chahal, Prithvi Shaw and Deepak Chahar - could be seen enthralled by Suryakumar's storytelling.

The snap also grabbed the attention of the Indian fans as they tried to guess the topic of their discussion.

"Suryakumar Yadav telling everyone how he had a staring session with Virat Kohli in the last IPL. In conclusion, I was victorious," wrote a user on the post.

In the comment, the user is hinting towards the on-field altercation between Kohli and Suryakumar that took place during an Indian Premier League (IPL) match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and RCB in 2020.

Another fan said that they must be discussing the members of the Indian squad, who have tested positive in England. Earlier on Thursday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that two members of the Indian squad - wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant and training assistant Dayanand Garani - have tested positive for coronavirus.

"On who is tested positive in the Indian team in England," the comment said.

"Meanwhile, Manish Pandey is missing his girlfriend," read another comment on the post. The user also added a frowning face emoji.
