Fans couldn't get enough of the iconic moment, calling it an ultimate crossover that all fans needed.

A user dropped fire emojis while another showered love by dropping heart emojis.

Talking about the third test between India and England, England batters Joe Root and Ollie Pope led a steady recovery for the hosts in the second session of the Test match at Lord's on Thursday, guiding England to 153/2 at Tea. The duo stitched together an unbroken 109-run stand to help England bounce back after early setbacks in the morning which had them down at 44/2 thanks to a double-wicket over by Nitish Kumar Reddy.

Resuming at 83/2 after Lunch, Root and Pope navigated a disciplined Indian bowling attack with patience and control. Their fifty-run partnership came off 116 balls, laying the foundation for a solid middle-order resistance.

Former captain Joe Root brought up his half-century off 102 deliveries and remained unbeaten at Tea on 54 from 109 balls, decorated with seven elegant boundaries. Pope, on the other hand, showcased grit and composure to remain not out on 44, which included four boundaries.

England won the toss and opted to bat first. The series is levelled at 1-1.

Meanwhile, on the work front, the actor was last seen in Ek Badnaam Aashram Season 3 - Part 2. The show premiered on Amazon MX Player on February 27.

Directed by Prakash Jha, the series featured Bobby Deol, Aaditi Pohankar, Darshan Kumaar, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Vikram Kochhar, Tridha Choudhury, Anupriya Goenka, Rajeev Siddhartha, and Esha Gupta in crucial roles. Apart from this, the actor recently made his Telugu debut in Daaku Maharaj, where he acted alongside Nandamuri Balakrishna, Urvashi Rautela, and Pragya Jaiswal. The film was directed by Bobby Kolli.

While I appreciate the celebrity support, I wish our media would focus more on the actual match performance. Root and Pope are making it look easy against our bowling attack 😕

As someone new to Indian cricket, this crossover is fascinating! Bobby Deol's enthusiasm is infectious. Can someone explain why Rohit is called 'Hitman' though? 😊
