The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season is finally here and not just teams and cricketers but even fans have begun their preparations for the two months of the excitement of the cash-rich tournament.
Not just them even the quirky and witty Wasim Jaffer is not far behind as he shared a funny tweet with the reference to the movie 'Hera Pheri'. In the image, Paresh Rawal's character 'Baburao Ganpatrao Apte' who is also fondly called 'Baburao' is seen telling, "Deva 2 mahine ka bandobast ho gaya!" (Preparations for 2 months have been done).
