Ashwin Takes a Swipe at Pujara Over Sooryavanshi's Salute

Ravichandran Ashwin, the king of social media banter, turned the spotlight on Cheteshwar Pujara after the latter failed to salute Vaibhav Sooryavanshi during an IPL 2026 clash. This playful jab came after Harbhajan Singh gave a shout-out from the commentary box, celebrating Sooryavanshi’s explosive performance alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal against the Mumbai Indians.

During the rain-affected match on April 7, Jaiswal and Sooryavanshi put on a show, tonking MI's bowlers all over the park. Their partnership not only kept RR’s hopes alive but also left Ashwin in stitches as he pointed out Pujara's absence in giving credit where it was due.

This light-hearted exchange highlights the camaraderie among the players, even as they battle it out in the IPL. With the tournament heating up, expect more cheeky interactions and on-field fireworks as the stakes get higher!
