Harleen Deol dedicates Rafi song to Smriti Mandhana after her ton, latter’s response wins internet

As her team on and off the field showered praise, Deol took to Twitter and shared a photo of Mandhana – showing her tousled hair – when she raised her bat to celebrate the ton, with the caption: “Alexa please play: ‘Oh haseena zulfo vali!!!’”

Soon after Deol’s reference to the iconic Mohammad Rafi song, Mandhana posted a sassy reply. Playing along, she too invoked Alexa, asking the AI device to put her teammate “on mute”.

Netizens simply loved the friendly banter between the two cricketers, even as some kind souls paid heed to Deol’s request and added music to Mandhana’s images. “Serenading you with this song right away, queen!” Amazon Alexa, India too chimed in.

Superb. Continue to enjoy life as much as cricket. Indian cricket looks up to you. Such style, on and off the pitch. Your cover drives are awesome.

What an innings!! Wonderfully build, aggressive at start, pouncing on every loose balls, buliding partnership and playing through the session without scoring or loosing a wicket and then a centure. Just brilliant!!
