Suryakumar Yadav‘s remark towards Kuldeep Yadav in the 2nd ODI between India and West Indies has divided the internet. While some found it amusing, others found it insulting towards Kuldeep Yadav.

India lost the 2nd ODI in humiliating fashion after the visitors had rested their key players such as skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli and were bowled out for just 181 runs in 40.5 overs. Hosts West Indies managed to chase the target in 36.4 overs for the loss of 4 wickets. Shardul Thakur picked up 3 wickets in the process.

While Kuldeep Yadav was bowling to Shai Hope, Suryakumar Yadav said, “Tu hi hai hamara kachra,” referring to the famous character “Kachra” from the Bollywood movie ‘Lagaan’ who was also a spinner.

Despite being in the losing position, Team India players seemed to be in a light mood. After the delivery to Shai Hope was played for a single, players were heard saying, “Miracle, miracle, haa haa miracle,” a famous dialogue from the Bollywood movie ‘Welcome.’

While some fans were amused by the incident, some fans thought it was disrespectful towards Kuldeep Yadav as Kachra translates to trash in English. Take a look at some of the reactions.

While Kuldeep Yadav did not actually reply to the comment, many people did not like what they heard through the stump mic. Suryakumar Yadav was slammed on Twitter for his remarks. But as it seemed, the India spinner took the banter lightly.

Talking about Suryakumar Yadav’s performance in the series so far, the right-handed batter has managed 43 runs in two matches played. Now, with only one game left in the series, Yadav will have to prove his mettle in this format or he might lose his place in the ODI setup for a considerable amount of time.
