Nathan Lyon Called 'Baldy': Adam Gilchrist and Kerry O'Keeffe's Hilarious Exchange Goes Viral

During the 4th Test match between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, a lighthearted exchange between former Australian cricketers Adam Gilchrist and Kerry O'Keeffe became an instant hit on social media.

While commentating, Gilchrist overheard the term 'bald eagle' on the stump mic and couldn't resist making a cheeky remark directed at O'Keeffe. With his trademark wit, Gilchrist asked, "Are they talking about Nathan Lyon, or are they referring to you, Kerry O'Keeffe?"

O'Keeffe, in good humor, responded, "In Hindi, they call it 'Taklu.' Once, I made a joke on a cricket show, and Indian fans flooded Twitter asking, 'Who is the Taklu?' I looked it up and found it means 'bald man.' So yes, Nathan Lyon is a Taklu."

This amusing exchange left fans in splits and quickly went viral across social media platforms.

Nitish Kumar Reddy's Historic Achievement

Amid the entertaining commentary, Indian cricketer Nitish Kumar Reddy delivered a stellar performance, scoring a memorable century while batting at No. 8. His innings not only saved the team but also etched his name into cricket history.

• Record-Breaking Sixes: Reddy became the first Indian player to hit eight sixes in a single Test series in Australia. This record was previously held by Michael Vaughan (2002-03 Ashes) and Chris Gayle (2009-10).

• Young Achiever: At just 21 years and 216 days, Nitish became the third-youngest Indian cricketer to score a maiden Test century in Australia.

Nitish's century came off 171 balls, showcasing incredible resilience and determination under pressure.

The day at the MCG will be remembered not only for the humor-filled exchange between Gilchrist and O'Keeffe but also for Nitish Kumar Reddy's record-breaking performance.
