Watch: Virender Sehwag calls Virat Kohli "Chamiya"

Hindi commentary has been very different from English commentary in terms of engaging the fans with the game. It is very difficult to engage the admirers of the sport to listen to the on-air commentary, especially in the longest format of the game. This is because they occasionally get monotonous. This is the reason Hindi commentators resort to cheeky comments on-air. Commentators like Virender Sehwag are notoriously famous for something like this.

Once again the legend opener had come with a cheeky remark during Day Three of the fifth Test between England and India. The incident happened after England's ninth wicket in the form of Sam Billings. Mohammed Siraj managed to bring the ball back into Billings and it went on to his leg stump. After the wicket, Virat Kohli was seen dancing alongside his teammates.

Reacting to it, Sehwag and Mohammad Kaif, who were commentating at the time made their remarks. Kaif simply pointed out that Kohli is dancing while Sehwag said 'Chamiya naach rahi hai' (Cheerleader is dancing). A Twitter user uploaded the video and captioned 'What is this commentary?'.

After the wicket, James Anderson, who came out to bat, was seen struggling against high-class Indian pace bowling. Watching this, Matthew Potts started wielding his willow by hitting a four and a six. However, he couldn't do it for much longer as he was caught at slips by Shreyas Iyer. The Three Lions ended on 284, trailing by 132 runs.

With the lead of 132, the visitors lost the wicket of Shubman Gill (4) in the first over to Anderson. Notably, the dismissal was pretty much identical to the first innings where he was caught at slips. Hanuma Vihari (11), who was batting with great discipline, was tempted by a full ball from Stuart Broad and was caught at slips.

In came, Virat Kohli, who was looking while scoring 20 runs before the extra bounce from Ben Stokes did him and once again he failed to score big. At stumps, Cheteshwar Pujara (50*) and Rishabh Pant (30*) were batting at the crease.
