After the fourth BGT Test, India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin took a friendly dig a Cheteshwar Pujara on Twitter. The latter rolled his arm over before the game was called off as a draw. Around half an hour later, Ashwin took to Twitter and uploaded a picture of Pujara warming up before bowling. The off-spinner captioned 'Main kya karu? Job chod du?'.

Meanwhile, the fans have enjoyed the banter between the two after a tame draw in Ahmedabad.
This is how Twitter reacted
Indian cricketers rarely tweet. But when they do, they make it special ๐

Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja became joint Player Of The Series
Meanwhile, alongside Ashwin, Jadeja was also adjudged Player Of The Series. Both players did well with the bat and ball both. In the post-match presentation, they saidย Ashwin: "It's been a great journey together. We wouldn't be the same without the other. He gives me a lot of freedom to be creative on the field with the ball. Credit to him. I thought he bowled beautifully in the Delhi Test. That's why we're here."
Jadeja: "We're always talking about the wicket, what field we should have to particular batters. We're always talking and discussing. I'm not happy with my batting in the series. I missed on a few occasions. Especially in this game. Hopefully I'll work harder and more focussed on my batting for the next series."
