A hilarious ‘underwear’ remark from Ravi Shastri
While the on-field action was gripping, one of the most memorable moments of the match came from none other than India’s former head coach, Ravi Shastri, who is currently donning the hat of a commentator in this grand event.
Known for his witty and candid commentary, Shastri added a dash of humour to the proceedings, delivering a hilarious ‘underwear’ remark that sent the fans into fits of laughter.

The comic episode occurred when India’s skipper Rohit Sharma was captured on the screen, relaying a message to waterboy Ishan Kishan that he was to convey to on-field batters during the drinks break.
The animated exchange between Rohit and Kishan sparked Shastri’s wit, and he quipped, “Agar aisa vaisa kuch bol diya aur baad mein batsman bataya ki mereko Ishan ne bola ye karne ko, to chaddi Kishan ki hi khichegi galat message dene ke liye,” which translates to, “If anything goes wrong, it will be Kishan who will be held accountable for delivering the wrong message.”
Shastri’s humorous analogy added an entertaining twist to the live commentary and instantly went viral.
