Australian commentators Kerry O’Keefe and Adam Gilchrist’s hilarious conversation about spinner Nathan Lyon went viral on day three of the Boxing Day Test against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). In a video surfaced on social media, Gilchrist revealed that Washington Sundar and Nitish Kumar Reddy had referred to Lyon as ‘bald eagle’. O’Keefe responded to it by stating, “‘In Hindi, it’s Taklu”.
The incident occurred on day three just when Lyon finished one of his overs as Gilchrist seemed to have overheard what Reddy and Sundar were referring to the record-breaking spinner as. As a result, the former keeper-batter clarified that they were referring to Lyon as ‘bald eagle’ and not O’Keefe. With O’Keefe revealing that it’s called ‘taklu’ in hindi, Gilchrist was in splits.
Below is the full video of their conversation:
