The International Cricket Council might not be able to host new matches for the viewers, but it has several other ways to keep the audience engaged. Apart from showing highlights of some of the most famous matches in history, ICC also keeps throwing random quizzes for cricket lovers across social media platforms.
In the latest tweet, the ICC has shared a throwback picture of the former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, celebrating on the field with fellow former players Murali Kartik and Irfan Pathan. While Kartik is rejoicing, others seem to be cheering him.
“Guess the year,” ICC captioned the picture.
