Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul are known to be the best of friends, however, the duo will be in opposite ranks as their respective sides Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants come face to face at the MCA Stadium, Pune on Tuesday.
Since the two skippers are best buddies, they engaged in some friendly banter ahead of the LSG vs GT match.
During toss, KL Rahul sent the coin up in the air, and as is customary, his opposite number Hardik Pandya called 'Heads'.

The coin ended up landing on its head, and Hardik had won the toss, but Rahul mistakenly had heard that Pandya had called 'Tails'. Afterwards, when he asked Hardik "Tails bola tha na (You called tails?)", the Gujarat skipper replied by saying, "I said heads, not tails."
