Harsha Goenka, the name that got familiar among the cricket followers during the 2017 edition Indian Premier League (IPL), once again makes the headlines. The brother of Sanjeev Goenka comes up with a sarcastic dig on Team India head coach Ravi Shastri with England vs India 2018 Test series going on in the United Kingdom (UK).

Earlier, he made witty tweets regarding the former Indian skipper, Mahendra Singh Dhoni for his batting form in the tenth edition of IPL. He then had a similar kind of stuff on the current captain of Indian team, Virat Kohli. It was then followed by Rohit Sharma.

Harsha Goenka makes fun of Ravi Shastri’s tummy:

The recent picture of Indian head coach, Ravi Shastri having a look at Lord’s wicket is going viral on the social media. The picture depicted Shastri’s stomach coming out more than the usual.

However, Harsha Goenka saw the lighter side of it who tweeted writing that Ravi Shastri is the only person to deliver on Lord’s wicket during England vs India 2018 second Test.

So much so, Harsh related Shastri’s stomach to a pregnant woman who is carrying a child.

Digging into his tweet, it read ”For the second Test match #ENGvsIND, one cricket player who looks ready to DELIVER is Ravi Shastri.”

India looks to make a comeback in the series:

After the setback at Edgbaston, Indian would live to register a strong comeback in the series. Though they gave a tough fight in the first Test, it looked more like one man leading the batting department.

The wicket at Lord’s will also demand the change in the team composition as well. Recently, the bowling coach, Bharat Arun hinted five bowlers in the side rather than adding an extra batsman.

Most probably, the Test specialist, Cheteshwar Pujara might be back in the side. Pertinently, one among KL Rahul, Murali Vijay and Shikhar Dhawan will be on the sidelines.

Meanwhile, the return to Lord’s will bring Ajinkya Rahane new energy who scored a solid century on the lush-green wicket.

However, it would be interesting to see how Indian management will come out on Thursday (August 9th).
