Former India opener Aakash Chopra who is known for his expert comments and analysis about the game took Twitter by storm after he posted a picture of a bill of an Indian restaurant in Indonesia on his social media account. Chopra tweeted, “Paid nearly 7 Lac for a meal 🙈🤣😇😂 Welcome to Indonesia 🇮🇩😋.”
The catch, however, is that if you convert the bill into Indian currency, it comes down to only Rs 3,334 as 1 Indian Rupee is equal to 210 IDR. Twitterati soon did the math and while some resorted to creative replies on his post, others schooled the former cricketer.
Chopra played 10 Test matches for India where he scored 437 runs while was a well-known name in the domestic circuit. He played for Delhi, Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh and scored over 10000 runs in 162 First-Class matches.
