Martin Guptill calls Yuzvendra Chahal ‘G**du’ after India win against Newzealand

Martin Guptill calls TYuzvendra Chahal ‘G**du’, the incident took place after India defeated Newzealand in the 2nd T20I game at Eden Park.

The Indian cricket fans have erupted in laughter as Newzealand’s Martin Guptill abuses Yuzvendra Chahal in Hindi. He brought his mic out to host the ‘Chahal TV’ which has become more of a tradition now as he interviews two of his teammates after every match.

This time he decided to go between Guptill and Rohit Sharma, whilst they were chatting. The Kiwi batsman thought it as the right opportunity to make light-hearted slur at Chahal, which accidentally got recorded on the mic Chahal was handling.

In the footage appeared online, Rohit can be seen laughing with his lungs out, meanwhile, Guptill later embraced Chahal to display that it was all in humour.

This happened after India defeated Newzealand in the second T20I game of the series. The previous T20I match was also played here, which was also won by India.

While watching Newzealand bat, it was clear that the pitch’s condition has deteriorated after the first T20I match, but still, a brilliant performance by the Indian bowlers limited the Kiwis till 132 runs, which was anyway low despite the batting conditions.

India once again came to chase and was troubled by Newzealand’s bowling attack at first, in the process, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli also lost their wickets.

But once again, a brilliant partnership between Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul kept India at the pole position. Shivam Dube slammed a six to finish the game after which both the teams came out for customary handshakes.
