Dubai: The Netflix hit series Squid Game has become the latest craze in the world of social media with many fans of the hit TV series particularly trying out the Dalgona challenge from the show.

The Indian cricketing stars, who are part of the T20 World Cup were also seen taking to the ‘Dologna Candy’ challenge from Netflix’s popular web series. The challenge requires a player to pluck out a particular shape using a needle from a honeycomb,  without breaking it. If it breaks, the person is killed.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) shared the fun video of Team India players taking part in the “Squid Game” challenge. “India put to the test in nerve-wracking game. Indian Cricket Team stars are put to the test with a game made famous by one of the world’s most talked about shows,” ICC captioned its Instagram post along with the video.

Check out the video here:

Rohit Sharma, Varun Chakravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and KL Rahul were seen taking part in the challenge. Rohit and Shami were the only ones who succeeded as they patiently manage to cut out the shapes from the candies with surgical precision. While Chakravarthy, Rahul, Yadav and Bumrah ended up breaking their candies during the challenge.

Meanwhile, the Virat Kohli-led side has won both their warm-up games with ease against England and Australia. India will now gear up for their tournament-opener of the marquee event, on October 24 (Sunday) where they face arch-rivals Pakistan at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.
