The Indian Test team is currently busy playing the fifth rescheduled Test match against England at Edgbaston in Birmingham. As Rohit Sharma missed the game due to Covid-19, Jasprit Bumrah was given the captaincy duties. However, he lost the toss, and India was asked to bat first.
While batting first, India scored a mammoth score of 416 runs as Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja scored two fantastic tons. Both put up a record-breaking stand of 222 runs for the sixth wicket on day one of this Test match. In reply, England got bundled out for 284 runs. Only Jonny Bairstow continued his dream run as he scored his third consecutive hundred in the last three matches. However, India ended day three on a positive note as they are now leading by 257 runs with seven wickets to go. Cheteshwar Pujara is still there with a gritty unbeaten knock of 50 runs so far in the second innings.
But, an interesting thing happened on day three when former Indian player, Virender Sehwag called Virat Kohli a “Chamiya” during his commentary session. Speaking about the incident, Indian batter Virat Kohli was seen dancing in joy as Mohammad Siraj picked up the wicket of Sam Billings.
Sam Billings was looking in good touch as he scored 36 runs off 57 balls, including four boundaries. But, this young Indian pacer outfoxed him and got through his defense. Thus, he delivered a crucial wicket for India at that stage of the match. However, the reaction of Sehwag to Kohli’s dance did not go well with some fans as they took their Twitter account to counter Sehwag. On the other hand, some fans found it in funny way as they enjoyed that reaction. A Twitter user who had tuned in to Hindi commentary during that moment posted the video on Twitter where Sehwag can be heard saying, ‘Chamiya naach Rahi hai waha.’

Trolling Kohli as Chamiya " Female cheerleader" is very much abusive.. It shows low class behaviour of Sehwag
That's why I avoid this Hindi commentaries https://t.co/Nip98pzqpu

The way Sehwag refering 'Chamiya' word for Kohli is not at all expected from a senior player, fans were criticising him. #ViratKohli #INDvsENG pic.twitter.com/QCIjRWq320
