Mumbai, Aug 26 (IANS): Cricketer Ajinkya Rahane is out exploring his funny side. He has turned comedian for a sketch video, with YouTube comedy sensation BeYouNick.

It all started when Rahane and BeYouNick, whose real name is Nikunj Lotia, realised that they share similar traits when it comes to looks and personality. They have a personal connection with Dombivali, too -- Rahane used to stay there during his initial cricket days while Nick is from Dombivali. That's when they decided to come together for the face-off video, which released on Wednesday.

"Ajinkya is so true to his name. You absolutely can't win over him -- just like this video. But he'll definitely win you over. Humble and an absolute sport. I am only hoping he doesn't start making YouTube videos. But I want to thank him for displaying such top-notch spirit. This video is definitely going to send waves of awesomeness across all platforms," Nick said.

In the past, BeYouNick has collaborated with personalities like Madhuri Dixit, Sunny Leone, Vidya Balan and Arjun Kapoor.
