Ahmedabad, March 9 Indian cricket team's social media star Arshdeep Singh continued his playful teasing after the T20 World Cup victory, urging head coach Gautam Gambhir to smile more, asking Sanju Samson if justice had finally been served, and reaffirming the collective belief in "Jassi bhai's" magic!
The young pacer, who gives fans a glimpse into the fun side of the dressing room and his teammates' lives through his reels, posted a roughly 40-second clip featuring Gambhir, Samson, Abhishek Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Axar Patel, and captain Suryakumar Yadav.
It begins with Arshdeep asking the already smiling Gambhir to laugh a bit more.
"Paaji, kade has wi leya karo (brother, you should laugh sometimes)," he quipped, quoting from a famous Bollywood comedy film.
"Singh is King," responds Gambhir.
The next frame shows opener Abhishek being asked a light-hearted question about what happened to him in the tournament, before the camera focuses on Samson, who scored three consecutive and blazing half-centuries to end a period of self-doubt.
"Paaji, justice mil gaya? (Have you got justice)," asks Arshdeep to the Kerala man.
Samson answers with a delirious "Yeah."
Next up was Kishan, who also smashed a half-century in the 96-run final win over New Zealand here on Sunday.
"Ek Bihari (One Bihari)," says Arshdeep.
"Sab pe bhaari (aces everyone)," adds Kishan.
To local favourite Axar, fondly called "Bapu" by his teammates, Arshdeep says, "Ek Bapu (Mahatma Gandhi) ne hamein azadi dilayi, ek ne trophy (One Bapu got us freedom, the other got us the trophy)."
Then comes the tribute to a Siraj statement on Bumrah's genius that became the stuff of memes.
"I believe only in Jassi bhai," says Arshdeep and Siraj almost simultaneously.
Bumrah stands in the middle, trying to name the person he believes in, but he can't finish the statement as the camera cuts to Suryakumar.
"What are we doing, have we won the World Cup," says the captain, flashing his winner's medal.
