The Indian cricket team is all set to take on New Zealand in the inaugural World Test Championship Final. There has been a significant buzz ahead of the all-important clash. The International Cricket Council (ICC) recently declared the WTC Final playing conditions for the two participating teams. Former India opening batsman Wasim Jaffer took this opportunity to share a hilarious meme and left fans in splits once again with his epic sense of humour.

Wasim Jaffer's Munnabhai-style response to WTC Final playing conditions

The ex-cricketer was known for his astute defense and exemplary resilience on the crease. Post hanging his boots from the gentleman's game, the veteran has showcased a new side of his personality among the fans with his social media posts. Jaffer once again tickled the funny bones of his fans with his witty response to the recently announced WTC Final playing conditions. The former opener shared a meme from a popular Hindi movie soon after ICC announced the playing conditions and rules for the India vs New Zealand fixture. 

India's star off-spinner is considered to be one of the smartest members of the Indian contingent by many. This is why Wasim Jaffer suggested that the Indian team will be hoping that Ashwin goes through the set of rules first and then explains it to others. While the cricketer-turned-coach's tweet became an instant hit among the masses, Ashwin himself also responded to the tweet as he provided subtitles for a fan who seemingly failed to comprehend the Hindi dialogue.
