The atmosphere at the headshot photoshoot was a mix of chaos and hilarity. Everyone was dressed in their pristine white Test jerseys, with their names and numbers neatly printed on the back.
The team was gathered in a section of the stadium reserved for media activities, but what should have been a quick and formal photoshoot had turned into an impromptu comedy show.
Rohit Sharma's absence was felt—especially his usual quips—but everyone knew he had an excellent reason for being back in India.
That didn't stop the rest of the team from making this one of the most memorable shoots they'd had.
Naima, leaning casually against the backdrop, adjusted her hair, which had been tied back into a sleek ponytail.
Shubman, standing a few feet away, was unabashedly watching her with a sly smile.
"You're staring, Shubman," Naima teased, not even looking at him.
"Can't help it, sweetheart. You're distracting." Shubman's grin widened as he adjusted the collar of his jersey.
From behind them, Virat groaned loudly, "Oh, for God's sake, can you two save it for after the shoot? You're making the rest of us look single as hell."
Naima turned to him with mock innocence.
"We're not doing anything, Virat. Right, babe?" she said, giving Shubman a playful smirk.
"Nothing at all, darling," Shubman replied smoothly.
Rishabh, seated nearby, threw a piece of tape at Shubman's head. "Save the mushy shit for when you're off-camera. Let the rest of us live."
The media team announced they were also filming a "Who's Most Likely To" video alongside the headshots, which sent the team into a frenzy of groans, cheers, and chaotic discussions.
The Rules: The person being photographed next would have to answer a random question from the interviewer.
"Okay, let's get started! First up, Yashasvi Jaiswal!" one of the media staff shouted.
Yashasvi, grinning nervously, stepped forward for his headshot. The question came: "Who's the messiest in the dressing room?"
Without missing a beat, Yashasvi pointed at Rishabh Pant. "Rishabh, 100%. His kit bag looks like it was hit by a tornado."
