During warm-up matches, cricketers often see sharing their bond and friendship with each other. But at Grace Road during India's game against Leicestershire, Mohammed Shami and Cheteshwar Pujara -- two of India's Test warhorses -- represented different teams, which made things even more interesting.

With that, the veteran Indian batter departed without scoring after facing six balls. But then, a heartwarming moment was seen on the field, and the clip of that scene went viral on social media in no time.
