Ajinkya Rahane has posted a picture on Instagram of himself sleeping with the pink ball. This picture posted by the vice-captain of Indian Cricket Test Team has drawn the attention of skipper Virat Kohli who commented: "Nice Pose Jinksy."  Even Indian Cricket Team ODI and T20I opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan couldn't stop himself from making a cheeky comment.
