Suryakumar Yadav, Prithvi Shaw leave fans in splits with hilarious 'Munnabhai' banter

While Virat Kohli and co. are currently involved in a battle of one-upmanship against the New Zealand team in the inaugural World Test Championship Final in Southampton, Team India's white-ball specialists are gearing up for their tour of Sri Lanka. The players, who are set to feature in the limited-overs fixtures with Sri Lanka, have assembled in Mumbai for their mandatory quarantine ahead of their tour. The likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Prithvi Shaw, Navdeep Saini and Hardik Pandya recently took part in a workout session and they left fans in splits with their take on the same. 

Suryakumar Yadav and Prithvi Shaw engage in a fun 'Munnabhai MBBS' banter 

The upcoming India vs Sri Lanka tour is a significant opportunity for up and coming players to make a mark for themselves in the shorter format, considering the impending World T20. The players seem to be raring to go after an extended break post the postponement of this year's Indian Premier League. Moreover, the squad also has been training hard ahead of the crucial assignment. 

Taking to his social media accounts, flamboyant opener Prithvi Shaw shared a picture after a seemingly rigorous training session alongside Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Navdeep Saini, Deepak Chahar and Rahul Chahar. While the picture received a big thumbs up from the player's followers, it was Suryakumar Yadav's comment that stole the show. The 30-year-old used a dialogue from the popular film Munnabhai MBBS to describe their situation. Moreover, Shaw also responded with a line inspired by the same movie.
