A brief language discussion took place between Varun Aaron and Sanjay Bangar during the IND vs NZ 1st ODI in Vadodara.
During the 12th over, KL Rahul gave bowling advice to Washington Sundar in Hindi while the Kiwi openers were batting.
“Medium pacer jaise daal rahe ho yaar, spinner ho, thoda ball ko dheema fekho,” asking Sundar to slow the ball through the air.
Varun Aaron pointed out that Sundar is from Chennai and suggested Tamil could have been used for easier communication since it is Sundar’s native language.
“Mai rashtra bhasha me believe karta hun,” indicating he prefers speaking in the national language and that Hindi works for many players.
The moment highlighted how players from different regions use different languages on the field, making communication unique in Indian cricket.
