Bringing international players closer to each other is perhaps one of the biggest purposes that the Indian Premier League has served in its last 11 years. With the advent of the IPL, player from across the globe have become close friends. And the latest conversation between Pandya brothers and Rashid Khan pretty much proves that.

It all began when Krunal posted a video of himself, bowling a delivery which is not expected from a spinner – bouncer. Krunal had bowled the delivery during a One-Day game between India A and England Lions during the recently-concluded tri-series.  The batsmen, as anyone would have expected, was all set for the slow delivery. However, Krunal banged the ball short, taking the batsman by surprise who somehow managed to play it.

Few days after that incident, Krunal took to Twitter to post the video with the caption:

“Why should fast bowlers have all the fun? ??”

Rashid Khan was quick to notice it and went on to reply, writing:

“Exactly we should work on it ???”

The Afghanistan star’s suggestion seemed to have impressed Krunal as he agreed to it and posted a funny reply, writing:

“@rashidkhan_19 , yes we should. But let’s not bowl this to each other.

Deal? ??”

And to try out their bouncers, Rashid suggested an interesting name. The leg-spinner asked Krunal if they can try out their bouncers on his younger brother Hardik.

“Deal done ?@krunalpandya24 bro . Can we bowle to @hardikpandya7 Bro ??”

This was the time when Hardik entered the conversation and made it even more interesting. The India allrounder accepted the challenge, tweeting:

“Challenge accepted! ? “

Delighted with Hardik’s reply, Rashid ended the conversation by writing:

“That’s call All rounder @hardikpandya7 ????”
