Jaiswal asked Konstas why he wasn’t playing his shots anymore in Hindi. The commentators Jatin Sapru and Irfan Pathan found this moment quite amusing.
“Kya ho gaya ab shot nahi dikh rahe kya (What happened, where are your aggressive shots now). Oy Kontas, shot nahi lag rahe kya abhi (Hey Kontas, why can’t you play your aggressive shots now),” Jaiswal asked Konstas and provoked him to play shots.
