`The Big Bang Theory` trolls R Ashwin, Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and leaves Indian fans bemused
Anything with an Indian flavour, even if it`s an American sitcom, can`t remain without the mention of cricket; and one of the recent episodes of `The Big Bang Theory` proved it yet again.
New Delhi: Anything with an Indian flavour, even if it's an American sitcom, can't remain without the mention of cricket; and one of the recent episodes of 'The Big Bang Theory' proved it yet again as offspinner Ravichandran Ashwin, allrounder Hardik Pandya and swing bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar get a comic mention.
The sitcom, which revolves around the lives of four scientists, including an Indian named Rajesh Koothrappali, is very popular in India.
The said scene with the mention of three Indian cricketers appeared during the ongoing 11th season of the show, in which Howard Wolowitz (played by Simon Helberg) and Rajesh (played by Kunal Nayyar) are sitting in a bar that has a cricket match playing on the television.
Here's the video:
The comparison between the three cricketers, however, didn't go down too well with the Indian fans, who took to Twitter to express their displeasure.
Ashwin, along with allrounder Ravindra Jadeja, has of late been overlooked for India's limited-overs squads. But the country's top offspinner will be back in action for the three-match home Test series against Sri Lanka beginning November 16.
