India's four-day warm-up match against Leicestershire County Cricket Club ahead of the rescheduled fifth Test in England set up some intriguing match-ups between the visiting players. And in one such one-on-one tussle, Cheteshwar Pujara got dismissed for a six-ball duck by Mohammed Shami. (More Cricket News)
Cheteshwar Pujara, one of the four players to represent Leicestershire in the practice game, played on off the second ball in the ninth over. After the dismissal, Mohammed Shami celebrated by jumping on the batter with other Indian cricketers joining in the fun. All fun and games in Leicester.
