Ravi Shastri Accepts Padman Challenge, Nominates Virat Kohli

The #PadmanChallenge challenge has spread like wildfire on the social media and many people are joining this campaign with the passing of each day.

The unique challenge was started by entrepreneur Arunachalam Muruganantham, on whom, the Akshay Kumar-starrer film PadMan has been made and will be released on Friday this week. Mr. Muruganantham had tagged Akshay Kumar’s wife Twinkle Khanna in his tweet, who took the challenge in Bollywood and nominated Aamir Khan and Shabana Azmi. Since then the challenge has been accepted several Bollywood stars and sportsperson including PV Sindhu.

And the latest to accept the challenge is Team India head coach Ravi Shastri. The former India allrounder posted a photo of himself with a sanitary napkin on Twitter, showing his support to Akshay Kumar. He also nominated captain Virat Kohli, Tennis star Leander Paes and Gautam Singhania, the chairman and managing director of the Raymond Group.

“Yes, it’s a Pad in my hand. Happy to support rockstar @akshaykumar for breaking the taboo and initiating an open conversation. AK, am sure no ball is going to hit PAD (MAN). #PadManChallenge Here I challenge @imVkohli @SinghaniaGautam @Leander,” he wrote on Twitter.

Meanwhile, Shastri along with the team is currently in South Africa where the teams are being involved in the six-match One-Day International series. India is leading the series 2-0 after winning both the games convincingly and will be looking to take an unassailable 3-0 lead when they take on the Proteas in the third ODI on Wednesday (February 7).
