In the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 face-off between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Chepauk, a delightful incident involving Rajasthan Royals'(RR) spinner Yuzvendra Chahal unfolded. Harshal Patel added a touch of humour to the match by playfully imitating Chahal’s signature pose after taking a crucial catch. During his jubilant celebration following a spectacular catch that sent Sameer Rizvi packing off Kagiso Rabada‘s delivery in the 16th over of the CSK innings, Harshal cheekily mirrored Chahal’s trademark stance.
Yuzvendra Chahal’s reaction to the moment
Chahal responded to the incident with humour, playfully urging Elon Musk, the owner of X, to file a copyright claim against Harshal for mimicking his celebration following the catch.
“Dear @elonmusk paaji, Harsal bhai pe copyright lagana hai,” wrote Chahal on X.
