New Zealand speedster Lockie Ferguson tried dialogue from the movie ‘Lagaan’ in a viral video on social media, shared by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday, October 2, amid the ongoing World Cup.
The 2001 sports drama was a blockbuster hit featuring Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan. It also featured British actors Rachel Shelley and Paul Blackthorne.
ICC captioned the hilarious video on Instagram:
“Lockie Ferguson, The movie Lagaan,” along with a handshake emoji.
Reacting to the video, Ferguson wrote:
“Still fixing my hair…”
Watch the video below:
On the professional front, Ferguson was last seen in the warmup game against Pakistan, finishing with figures of 1/34. The 32-year-old recently led the Kiwis in the ODI series against Bangladesh where he scalped two wickets in as many games. In 2023, he has scalped eight wickets in 11 games at an economy rate of 5.99.
Ferguson, who has played for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Gujarat Titans (GT), and now-defunct Rising Pune Supergiant in the Indian Premier League (IPL), will look to use the conditions to his advantage in the marquee ICC event.
New Zealand will next be in action in their second warmup game at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram on Monday, October 2.
