Wasim Jaffer, the batting coach of the renamed Punjab Kings, recently responded to a Tim Paine tweet celebrating the franchise’s new jersey on Twitter. Jaffer retweeted the Australian Test captain with a hilarious meme from the classic comedy film ‘Hera Pheri.’ Paine was responding to a tweet from Punjab Kings bowling coach Damien Wright, who was seen wearing the team’s new training gear. The updated training jersey’s “red and black” appealed to the Australian Test captain.
Punjab Kings debuted a new name, a new badge, and a new jersey ahead of the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The naming of the new nersey for the KL Rahul-led side has elicited mixed reactions from fans and former players. This time, though, they found an ally in the form of Paine, who lauded the jersey in his own unique way.
😂😂😂😂 might have to make that request with all my clothes over here cock.

According to the tweet, “However, I love the red and black, which reminds me of the mighty Uni Lions!! The kings are triumphant!”
Jaffer had previously posted the team’s updated logo on Twitter, explaining that amid the updates, the old ties would remain unchanged.
Apart from tickling his Twitter followers’ funny bones, Jaffer will have his job cut out as the team’s batting coach.

Punjab Kings had a tough season last year, failing to qualify for the playoffs for the second year in a row. They only took six of the 14 games they contested in the group stage, amassing only 12 points.
Punjab Kings face Rajasthan Royals in their first match on April 12 at Wankhade Stadium in Mumbai.
