Fitness challenge initiated by Sports Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore has gripped people on social media. From citizens to celebrities, people have been joining the ‘#HumFitTohIndiaFit’ campaign and the videos and photos posted online have created a buzz. And while most celebs are flaunting their amazing level of fitness by sharing difficult workout videos, ace Indian bowler Harbhajan Singh found a rather unusual way to “burn calories”. Well, to be fair, it was not for the fitness campaign, but his punny tweet that took Twitterati on a joy ride.

Sharing a photo on Twitter, the cricketer wrote, “Burnt 1500 calories today”, while one may think it would be some rigorous exercise, it was nothing but a plate full of burnt samosas!
While he did not divulge as to how exactly he managed to burn those calories, it led to a laughter riot on Twitter. Soon a few users on the micro-blogging site were quick to draw connection of his post with the ongoing #FitnessChallenge, while some found this opportunity to poke fun at defeated IPL teams. “Those 7 are the rest IPL teams,” quipped an user, commenting on Singh’s post as he was part of the winning Chennai Super Kings. “What the hell yaar what do you mean burnt you fucking cremated these samosas,” remarked another.
