Ross Taylor-Virender Sehwag 'darji' banter: Kiwi batsman reveals who helped him with his Hindi

Virender Sehwag and Ross Taylor have been having a social media banter in Hindi for last few days.  Sehwag had started it all by focusing on Taylors’ name and its phonetic resemblance to tailor which translates to ‘Darji’.

Now, conceding the three-match T20I series 2-1 to India after losing the decider game in Thiruvananthapuram, Taylor has signed off from India, but he has got something to reveal.

Taylor, in his new Instagram post, has unveiled the names of people who helped him with Hindi to tackle the Twitter banter with Sehwag.

The people behind Taylor's witty and humorous Hindi tweets were his compatriot cricketer Ish Sodhi and staff member Dev.

Taylor posted an image on his Instagram to bid India goodbye, but with yet another message for Sehwag.

The post read, "As always India it was a pleasure. FYI - the two responsible for helping me with banter with @virendersehwag are here in this photo, thanks Dev and @ic3_odi , signing off with one last message: Dhullai aur Silaai Anne waale samay mein jaari rahegi ??#India #indvnz #Mumbai #darji."

Earlier Sehwag has tweeted, "“Dhulaai Ke Baad silaai, but well played NZ.Never feel very bad losing against NZ because they are such nice guys, but a sweet victory for India.”"

The Twitter wordplay between the two cricketers started when Sehwag used Taylors' name as its phonetic resemblance 'tailor', which translates to 'darji' in Urdu.

"Well played @RossLTaylor Darji ji. Great effort after handling the pressure of Diwali orders .#indvsnz," Sehwag wrote.

To everyone's surprise, Taylor replied to Sehwag's 'Darji' comment in perfect Hindi, leaving everyone completely stumped, including the former opener.

"Thanks @virendersehwag bhai agli Baar Apna order time pe Bhej dena so Mai Apko agli Diwali ke pehle deliver kardunga ..happy Diwali," Taylor quipped.

The wordplay further continued with tweets coming from both the sides and ended after the India-New Zealand T20I series.
