New Delhi: After a thrilling win against Pakistan, Indian players have some time to spare before they face Hong Kong in their second fixture. During break time, young pacers Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan were seen playing a fun game. In the video shared by BCCI, the pacers were seen having fun along with Suryakumar Yadav.
The duo shifted from the cricket ball and pitch to table tennis balls and table. They played a game in which each player had 10 chances to put the balls into the cups and whoever does it more times wins the game. Avesh tried the game first and was able to throw just one ball into the cup. Arshdeep won the battle by throwing two balls into the cups.
As the video shows, one of Arshdeep’s balls went into the cup but the cup fell. At that moment they had a fun argument showing their competitive spirit. Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav also predicted Arshdeep to win the game and it came true.
