Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi took over Axar Patel’s Snapchat account on Friday (July 3), inviting questions for themselves from the spin all-rounder’s account.
In a video that is now also going
viral on other social media platforms, Abhishek, Axar and Sooryavanshi are seen sitting together. Abhishek first declared that he was in control for a while.
“Aaj paaji ke phone se hum aaye hain,” Abhishek said. “Saare questions padh liye maine. Paaji, sab answers aa gaye? (Today, we have taken over our brother’s phone. I have read all the questions. Did you get all the answers?” he asked Axar.
Axar started laughing in the background, before saying: “Bhai tu de de yaar answer. Unko bol ki tune sab kuch padh liya hai. Unko bol (Brother, you give the answers. Tell them that you have read everything. Tell them).”
Abhishek then pointed the camera at Sooryavanshi, saying: “Iske liye bhi question jo hai, vo bhi aajaye” (Send questions for him as well).
To this, Sooryavanshi responded, “Lamba likhna acche se explain karenge (Write long questions, I’ll explain in detail),” he said.
Several Indian cricketers are using Snapchat to grow their social media footprint. The same is being seen in football, with Erling Haaland the main beneficiary of the app. Some observers say that celebrities are moving to the platform because Snapchat’s temporary format encourages raw spontaneity, self-deprecating humor, and goofy AR filters.
By posting mundane daily moments, these global superstars humanize themselves and build deeper connections with younger audiences.
Should Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi open together in the 2nd T20I vs England?
Abhishek seems to have taken a mentor role with Sooryavanshi, with both openers often seen together since the 15-year-old joined the Indian squad. There’s a high chance that the two players might open the innings together in Saturday’s second T20I against England, especially with more and more questions being raised about Sanju Samson’s form.
