World No.1 tennis star Novak Djokovic is known for a great sense of humour and he has once again displayed that on Twitter.
Tennis star posted a picture of himself and his chauffeur, a man who he stated has been a part of his team for 10 years.
He captioned that photo: “Imran Bashir (my chauffeur for the #NittoATPFinals) has been part of #TeamDjokovic for 10 years! He is also a famous batsman for his local #cricket team. He received this trophy for best batsman of the year and we need to get it out there,” he said on the social media website Twitter.

He also revealed that his chauffer had recently received an award for being the best batsman of his local cricket team, he even seemed to suggest that the England cricket team coach Trevor Bayliss take a look at the man’s skills, stating that he would be a “strong candidate” for them. “#TrevorBayliss @englandcricket, you should keep your eye on Imran. I think he is a strong candidate for your team,” he added.

Even the ICC’s official account also joined in on the fun.
“We know you try to avoid nets as a tennis player, but if you feel like mixing up your @Wimbledon preparation next year, come down and have a net session at the @cricketworldcup,” they tweeted to the current world number one.
