India tour of Sri Lanka: Dhawan chooses players’ placard, Shaw chooses food items
In an open ‘Music & Mime’ challenge that allowed Shikhar Dhawan to choose from the two slips- food items and Indian players to Sri Lanka, the Indian skipper opted for the player list when offered to start with.
With blazing music tuned via headphones in Dhawan’s ears, Shaw started lip sing players’ names to begin the challenge. Confused with Ishan Kishan as Manish Pandey at first, Dhawan then rightly caught Shaw’s lip sing and immediately piped out the correct name. In no time Dhawan correctly guessed Shaw’s name just when the latter mimed his name during the activity, to which Shaw mockingly and extended surprise of how it was this easy to guess his name.
Just as Dhawan was making correct guesses, Shaw wittily caricatured coach Rahul Dravid’s name, which after a correct estimate by Dhawan, expressed surprise of coach’s name being there in the players’ list. Shaw admitted that Dravid’s name was not in the list.
Indian skipper took a wrong guess on Yuzvendra Chahal mimic and predicted the spinner as Bhuvneshwar Kumar. A similar wrong guess was taken at Krunal Pandya who Dhawan deduced as Suryakumar Yadav.
India tour of Sri Lanka: Shaw underperformed in deducing food items
The challenge soon shifted to Shaw, who was to be tested with the food items. Took a little time to guess, Shaw guessed ‘Vada Pav’ right and later boasted of the right estimate as the latter hails from Mumbai.
Meanwhile, Shaw took a wild laugh when Dhawan mimed without playing the music to which the skipper apologized.
The duo had a good laugh when Shaw failed to read ‘Butter Chicken’ correctly and guessed it with the likes of Paneer Chilly, then drilled to ‘matar’ (peas) and finally took the right predict.
Shaw even struggled in fathoming Boiled Egg lip sing and was later duped into guessing famous Chicken Biryani as ‘Chicken Milyani’.
The challenge ended with Shaw’s poor attempt at recognizing Dal Makhani as ‘Saag’ and later getting it on the track.
In all fairness, Shikhar Dhawan was declared the winner for making the right guesses quickly. The two batsmen, known for their batting, further nominated Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan in this challenge.
