When Nitish Kumar Reddy was batting, ex-Australian cricketer Kerry O’Keefe was on air and hilariously called him ‘taklu’. He then stated that Indian fans are the ones who usually call him by that slang and later understood that it meant a bald man.

He revealed that Indian fans call him ‘taklu’ when he posted a joke on his official X account. He then went on to search up the meaning of the word, and then understood that it meant a bald man.
“In Hindi, it’s Taklu, because I posted my joke from a cricket show, and the Indians on Twitter responded with ‘Who is the taklu?’ on the end, and I thought a picture of this shocking word about me. I looked it up in Hindi, ‘It’s a bald man’. So Nathan Lyon is a taklu,” O’Keefe said on air.
Nitish Kumar Reddy stole the light on Day 3 of the 4th Test. He hit the Australian bowlers all over the stadium as he scored his maiden Test century. He has become the second very Indian to score his maiden Test century at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
