Patna, Jul 18: A video of Tejashwi Yadav playing cricket has gone viral on social media, making netizens wonder if the young RJD leader has taken to heart Prime Minister Narendra Modi's reported taunt at his roly-poly frame.

The leader of the opposition in the Bihar assembly who had fancied a career in cricket until choosing politics, which is in his blood, can be seen trying his hands with the willow in the video which he has shared on his Twitter handle.

"Pleasure to try hands on bat and ball after ages. It becomes more satisfying when driver, cook, sweeper gardener and caretakers are your playmates and keen to hit and bowl you out", tweeted the consummate politician.

"Life or game, one should always play to win. The more you plan in your head, the better you perform on field", added the former Deputy Chief Minister who, many analysts concur, has come out of the shadow of parents Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi.

Clad in a T-shirt and shorts, Yadav, shows poise in his strokeplay and medium pace deliveries.

Many users recalled that he was formerly a cricketer who had won an IPL contract with the Delhi Daredevils team and, hence, his proficiency was not surprising.
