As the India cricket team left Chennai for Kanpur for the second and last Test of the two-match series from Friday, September 27, Sarfaraz Khan made his Mumbai teammate Yashasvi Jaiswal 'feel like Sachin Tendulkar' at the airport.

Sarfaraz Khan led out a chant of 'Yashu, Yashu' for the southpaw, who scored a crucial fifty in the first innings of the Chennai Test. The youngster acknowledged the fun banter from Sarfaraz and said, "I have a craze like Sachin Tendulkar."

Ravichandran Ashwin was also in focus as Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja coined the term 'Anna for a reason'. As of now 'Thala for a reason' is a viral caption and comment for social media posts relating to former India captain MS Dhoni.

"They are just bullying me," Ashwin responded to the chatter from his teammates.

The 38-year-old was also teased by Axar Patel and Akash Deep as he donned a pair of white shades in the airport lobby. Ashwin was on fire in the Chennai Test which India won by 280 runs in the first session of Day 4.

He slammed a first innings hundred to rescue India after a top-order collapse, and then picked a five-wicket haul in the second innings. He equalled Shane Warne's tally of 37 Test five-fers.

Further, Mohammed Siraj was spotted ordering a filter coffee at one of the airport outlets, while Axar Patel ordered a chocolate shake.

Also, the video posted by the BCCI showed a large crowd gathering on the way to the team hotel to welcome the India stars, who are looking for a 2-0 clean sweep over Bangladesh.
