Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul exchange jerseys
After cricket, football is one of the most followed sports in India. The young boys are crazy for football and in many regions of the country, football has more fan following than cricket. The swag and the styles of football players are way unique. There are many football players who have a better look than models.
Often the fans of both the sports tend to mix up the two sports. Like in the movie MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, Dhoni was asked to keep the wickets just because he was a good goalkeeper in his football field. Like that, the celebrations of football styles are also seen on the cricket field. Chris Gayle once celebrated his IPL hundred in the style of Cristiano Ronaldo whereas KL Rahul has copied several football player styles as well.

While taking off jerseys in the sport of cricket is not allowed, the fans often see football players taking off their jerseys and changing it with their opposition players. This is also known as the spirit of football that you treat your opponent as your equal. However, Indian cricket team’s two stalwarts, Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul recreated this scene on the cricket field as well. Rahul and Pandya, who are played of Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab, respectively are best friends off the field.
Such is the friendship of the two superstars that when one player landed in a controversy, the other joined him as well. Jokes apart, there was a match between Kings XI Punjab and Mumbai Indians where Rahul played really well however, he could not lead his team to the victory.
After that match in IPL 2018, Rahul and Pandya exchanged jerseys with each other for the first time in IPL history.
