Remember Martin Guptill abusing in Hindi? Yes, you do. The New Zealander took the internet by storm after he spoke those words on television.
The incident took place in January after India defeated the Kiwis in Auckland during the second T20I. Yuzvendra Chahal got into his 'Chahal TV' avatar and grabbed the mic from the presenter Jatin Sapru proceeded to have a chat with Martin Guptill.
Guptill, who was having a word with Rohit Sharma was interrupted by Chahal who asked, "What's up boys? What's up?" The Kiwi, out of nowhere, responded to Chahal's question with a Hindi slang. "Kya be g*ndu?" (Let's not even get into the translation of this).
While Rohit sprinted away from the camera frame and laughed, Chahal was unfazed by the random gaali tossed at him by Guptill.
Chahal stayed in his character and continued the "interview" by asking, "Kaisa lag raha hai aapko? (How are you feeling?)" and of course, fans noticed the incident and were quick to share the video.
