IND vs ENG 4th Test: 'His plate will be full' - Ravi Shastri has hilarious go at former India legend
Ex-Lancashire players Farokh Engineer and Sir Clive Lloyd unveil their new stand at Emirates Old Trafford (Photo by) As the 4th Test of the five-match series between India and England progresses, the hosts maintain a 2-1 lead. The penultimate Test has the potential to confirm a series win for Ben Stokes and Co if they manage to pull off the win, but if the game goes the visitors' way, a thrilling decider will be played at The Oval. As things stand, India have lost their openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, with the latter departing early in the second session to a Chris Woakes delivery, when he was caught out by Zak Crawley. Jaiswal went on to bag his half-century, before England spinner Liam Dawson took his wicket, marking his first Test wicket in 8 years. While lots of action on the pitch went viral on Day 1, a hilarious moment between two Indian legends was also taken notice of on social media. Skipper Gill was also dismissed for an underwhelming score of just 12 from 23 balls. Doing commentary for the exciting Test, Ravi Shastri took a hilarious dig at Indian legend Farokh Enginee. As the camera zoomed in on the legend, Shastri took a subtle jab at the 87-year-old, much to the delight of the latter. Listening on from the stands, the veteran chuckled when Shastri said, "A real pin-up boy in the 60s and 70s. Hugely popular and he's not changed over the years. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gold Is Surging in 2025 — Smart Traders Are Already In IC Markets Learn More Undo A great storyteller and a voracious eater even now.
