Ashwin Ravichandran our own ‘Tamil Payyan’ who has astonished us many a times with his impressive game on the field has been announced as the captain of the Kings XI Punjab for the upcoming IPL season. While fans are going rave over the decision, Ashwin’s reaction to the same amazes with its wit and humor, taking a humourous jibe at Kit Harrington (sorry, Game of Thrones fans).

The official social page of the Kings XI Punjab stated “We have a new #KigoftheNorth! Sheron, give a big welcome to the Protector of the Realm!” The cricketer has reacted: Hopefully, Kit Harrington doesn’t have an objection with this.

Well, it’s a surety that fans woudn’t consider it so as they invarioubly see the cricket pitch as only a battlefield! Kudos and all the best on your new responsibility Ashwin!

Hopefully Kit Harrington doesn’t have an objection with this. ?? https://t.co/wquIRM9YOK
