It is a great selfie featuring some of the best players on the planet right now, but here’s a list of five things might have missed from the selfie.
1. Temba Bavuma stood at a wrong position in T20 World Cup 2022 captains’ selfie
South African cricket team captain Temba Bavuma is one of the shortest cricketers in the world right now. Generally, short guys stand in the front while clicking any pictures. However, Bavuma stood in the wrong position and only a part of his face was visible in the background.
2. Kane Williamson was in a world of his own when T20 World Cup 2022 captains’ selfie was clicked
New Zealand cricket team captain Kane Williamson is seemingly posing for another camera when Aaron Finch clicked the selfie. He was probably interested in knowing what happened on the other side.
3. 2 Indians standing close to each other
Captain of India Rohit Sharma had the best position in this selfie. Right behind him was UAE captain CP Rizwan. Not many fans would know that Rizwan was born in Kerala. So, a player from Maharashtra and Kerala featured in this iconic selfie.
4. Jos Buttler’s unique pose
Most of the captains either kept their hands around the person next to them or stood straight. However, England captain Jos Buttler kept both of his hands in his pocket.
5. Only 2 shoes visible in the group selfie
If one zooms the selfie, they will notice that only two shoes are visible. One is a yellow shoe of Temba Bavuma, and the second one is West Indies captain Nicholas Pooran’s white shoe.
