The Indian Test skipper is a busy man. After spending the day with his tennis and wrestling teams on Thursday, he was in Mumbai today to help launch the World T20. With a little support from Ajinkya Rahane and Shikhar Dhawan, of course.
While the ICC announced the dates and schedule of the tournament, including an India vs Pakistan fixture on the 19th of March, the boys in blue took over social media with their complete 360 degree presence on Twitter.
First the traditional selfie with the trophy...
... Then a periscope video with the trio inviting fans to the tournament.
A few memories from the tournament...
...a little praise for the format’s skipper
... and then maybe a bit of Ravi Shastri-mimicry.
