Former Australian Player’s Comedic Comment Goes Viral

A very funny discussion between ex-Australian cricket players Adam Gilchrist and Kerry O'Keefe blew up on the internet; they were cracking jokes in the commentary box while watching the India vs Australia 4th Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and that's when something hilarious happened. Gilchrist heard someone say large bird over the stump mic and just had to make a joke about O'Keefe. Gilchrist jokingly said that they were talking about Nathan Lyon, not Kerry O'Keefe.

O'Keefe made a fast comeback using his humor. In Hindi, it's Taklu, he mentioned thinking back to a time he joked on a cricket show. He realized people on Twitter from India were asking, Who is the person with no hair? Confused, he was saying, 'Why are they talking about me?' Then, after looking it up in Hindi, he found out 'taklu' means a no hair man. He decided Nathan Lyon must be the one!

The witty exchange had everyone in the commentary box laughing, and it became an instant hit among fans.

Nitish really helped a lot when India was struggling during the 4th test's third day. They were in a difficult situation. but Nitish, playing at No. 8 obtained a tough century that was important. He helped keep India in the game by playing an unquestionably key role on the field.

In this match, Nitish achieved something no Indian had achieved before in cricket against Australia. He hit eight sixes in the series, a record for an Indian player in a single Test series there. When he did this, he also tied the record for the most sixes hit by a player visiting Australia for a Test series a record shared with Michael Vaughan from the 2002-03 Ashes and Chris Gayle in the 2009-10 season.

At 21 years and 216 days old, Nitish succeeded in the industry and obtained his first hundred in Australia, doing it in 171 shots. He made history by being the youngest, actually the third youngest, Indian to score a first-time Test hundred there. And he's the first ever India player who bats at No. 8 to a century on Aussie ground.
