In the recently concluded Test series between India and England, world cricket witnessed a historic moment as veteran Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin achieved a double triumph. Not only did he play his 100th Test match, but he also became the second Indian player to reach the milestone of 500 wickets in the Test format, solidifying his place as a legend of the game.
R Ashwin’s playful banter with Janhvi Kapoor parody
Transitioning from the highs of international cricket, Ashwin showcased his lighter side on social media. The amusement began when his teammate, Ravindra Jadeja, posted a question about Ashwin’s Tamil language skills.
Jaddu! 😂😂🤩🤩. I couldn’t control my surprise and laughter through and through your message🤗 https://t.co/07y8Vm3Te3

Their playful exchange took an unexpected turn when a parody account of Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor chimed in with a complimentary remark towards Ashwin’s response.

Embracing the lightheartedness, Ashwin playfully acknowledged the parody account as the real Janhvi Kapoor, much to the delight of fans. However, when another user revealed the account’s true nature, Ashwin maintained his good humour.
“Omg, Is that so?, I am heartbroken,” he replied.

The Chennai lad then jokingly expressed disappointment that the act couldn’t continue a bit longer, highlighting the fun in engaging with parodies as if they were genuine.
U shouldn’t say it, cos it says parody and the fun is to interact as if you are real.😂
