As the world is going through a lockdown period due to the coronavirus scare, Jos Buttler took a dig at that incident.
While talking to a leading news portal, Buttler was asked who he would like to be self-isolated with. On this, he answered, “Ravi Ashwin probably. It’s actually a year ago that I got Mankaded. I keep getting tweeted about it, saying ‘stay safe, don’t go outside’ with those pictures of me.”
Earlier in the day, Ashwin had also referred to that incident to aware people of the importance of social distancing and self-isolation.
Hahaha, somebody sent me this and told me it's exactly been 1 year since this run out happened.
As the nation goes into a lockdown, this is a good reminder to my citizens.
