Watch: England’s Shoaib Bashir Wows Sarfaraz Khan with Hindi Skills

In a comical turn of events during the fourth Test between India and England in Ranchi, England was bundled out for 353 runs on day 2. Led by Rohit Sharma, India’s side managed to secure three wickets in the first session.

However, the highlight of the day was a funny incident between Sarfaraz Khan and Shoaib Bashir. As Bashir, who hails from Pakistani heritage but was born in England, came to bat, Sarfaraz, assuming he didn’t understand Hindi, remarked at silly point.

Sarfaraz said, ‘Arre yaar, isse pata hai kuch kaisa khelna hai? Isse Hindi nahi aati hai, badhiya chalo.’ (Hey buddy, does he even know how to play? He’s not familiar with Hindi either, Come on guys.)

To everyone’s surprise, Bashir, who understood Hindi, quickly responded, ‘Thodi thodi aati hai’ (I know it a little bit). The amusing exchange spread like wildfire on the internet, showcasing the lighter side of the intense Test match.
