Neither Arshdeep nor Akash Deep featured in the playing XI during the match where India faced a five-wicket defeat.

In a video shared by the BCCI, Arshdeep Singh explained the context behind the amusing scene. He humorously recounted Morne Morkel's routine: "Morne said that as soon as your session ends, he will have a last move, and he will pin me. Thereafter, there will be no practice."

Arshdeep further added, "He has found a new way to call off the day, and he was just showing us that."
