IND vs AUS: 'Nathan Lyon is a Taklu'; Ex-Australia player goes hilarious On-Air - Watch

Amid the exciting cricketing drama at the Melbourne Cricket Ground between India and Australia, there was a hilarious moment which captured the attention.

The Test match at the MCG is delicately poised at the moment. At the end of Day 3, India are 358 for 9 in reply to Australia's 474 in their first innings.

Despite being in trouble earlier in the day, Nitish Reddy dragged the visitors out of trouble with his maiden international century. The young batter has now become the 3rd youngest Indian to score a Test ton in Australia, while he is the first to achieve so while batting at no. 8 or lower.

Nitish Reddy and Washington Sundar formed a crucial partnership of 127 runs for 8th wicket, which played the most important part in taking India out of the woods. But amid their partnership, there was a hilarious moment on-air.

Australian cricketer Nathan Lyon was at the center of some light-hearted banter during the fourth Test between India and Australia. While Lyon celebrated the wicket of Washington Sundar on day three, an amusing exchange unfolded in the commentary box.

Adam Gilchrist, hearing "ball eagle" on the stump mic, quipped to fellow commentator Kerry O'Keefe, "Sure, it's Nathan Lyon they're referring to and not you, Kerry O'Keefe?"

IND vs AUS: Nathan Lyon called 'Taklu'

O'Keefe shared a personal anecdote, recounting an incident involving Indian fans on social media.

"In Hindi, it's 'Taklu,' because I posted my joke from a cricket show, and the Indians on Twitter responded with, 'Who is the taklu?' I thought, 'What is this shocking word about me?' I looked it up in Hindi and it's a bald man. So Nathan Lyon is a taklu," O'Keefe said, drawing laughter at the commentary box.
