Ever since the 2020 season of the Indian Premier League, former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer has become the country’s greatest social media presence as far as the game of cricket is concerned.
Not only is his Twitter handle a gold mine for insight into the various series currently going on, he also keeps his fans engaged with riddles and puzzles before the big games that truly are brain-teasers.
However, one of his most recent riddles turned out to be a bit too “out of the box” for his fans who were unable to decode it and the Ranji legend had to give away another hint to make things easier. Not to mention he was extremely disappointed with all of us for not getting the job done.

When a follower asked Jaffer how the Men in Blue should tackle the spinners during the upcoming Test series against England at home, the athlete simply shared a picture with “02:00” written on it.
People from all over the country scratched their brains out while trying to figure out what the ‘puzzle master’ was trying to say. Here are some of the greatest tries:
I think so means to say .
On the six balls in the over
First ball. - 0
Second ball. - 2
Third ball. - 0
Fourth ball. -0
Fifth ball. - 0
Sixth ball. -0
2 runs per over without a wicket.

Let down by his fans, Jaffer had to give out another hint for us dumb mortals to figure out the message. He tweeted:

“No one decoded yet, come on people! Here's a clue: Read the pic in Hindi,” Jaffer wrote.
Finally it was Twitter user @FatimaSajid_ who cracked the code and got the proud nod from the man himself.
We have a winner! Well done https://t.co/EurtI9jU8r

“Read the pic in Hindi: 2:00 in Hindi is दो मिनट (do minute) which sounds like Dominate. Sir do you want Indian batsmen to Dominate England spinners?” Fatima wrote.
Essentially, Jaffer feels that the Indian batsmen should play aggressively against the English spinners especially while playing on home turf instead of playing defensively like they did against Australian spinners (excluding Rishabh Pant, of course) on their soil.
