India’s in-form leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is gearing up for the limited-overs series against South Africa starting February 1. Meanwhile, Chahal has been training hard in the gym as well as in the field. Chahal often posts his workout pictures and videos. The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) player has been trolled in the past for being too skinny. Yuvraj Singh even asked him “which one is heavier? the ball or him?” after his best bowling figures in T20 series against England in 2016.

This time around Chahal got trolled for his workout video where he can be seen doing relatively heavy lifting in the gym. Here’s the video –
