The below is the transcript of the duo’s conversation.

Howard: I don’t get how you can enjoy cricket, it makes no sense!

Rajesh: That’s Ravichandran Ashwin, he is amazing. He makes Hardik Pandya look like Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Howard: Wooah, wooah, wooah! Save syllables for the rest of us.

All this banter did not go down well with Indian cricket fans and they as usual took on Twitter to express their anger and discontent. It will be of interest to see if BBT still holds command over Indian audiences after hurting their sentiments.
