The Big Bang Theory trolls R Ashwin, Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar; Twitter fumes
Mumbai: In a recent episode of the popular American sitcom The Big Bang Theory, Indian-origin actor Kunal Nayyar, who plays Rajesh Koothrapalli and Simon Helberg, who plays Howard Wolowitz, were seen discussing about cricket while watching a match.
The conversation goes on like this:
Wolowitz: “I don’t get how you can enjoy cricket, it makes no sense!”.
To this, Rajesh replies “That’s Ravichandran Ashwin, he is amazing. He makes Hardik Pandya look like Bhuvneshwar Kumar.”
A surprised Wolowitz responds, “Wooah, wooah, wooah! Save syllables for the rest of us.”
Here is the video:
Seriously @kunalnayyar you let them write "@ashwinravi99 Ravichandran Ashwin makes @hardikpandya7 look like @BhuviOfficial Bhuvneshwar Kumar"? Did you even watch the India New Zealand series? https://t.co/sv0SWCf3oM #BigBangTheory #Cricket

Following this, many of the fans took to Twitter to share their opinion on this.
Yeah! Although I didn't understand what Raj meant by "Ashwin makes Hardin Pandya look like Bhuvaneshwar Kumar." Doesn't make sense to me.

That statement, however, makes no sense. :)

But congratulations @ashwinravi99. You are now a star in USA.
Raj doesn't make sense here but yay for ash!

Just for the sake of setting up the syllable joke?
The duo of Hardik Pandya and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have been a part of Virat Kohli-led India side for quite a while now, while R Ashwin last played for the Men in Blue in a Test match against Sri Lanka in August.
Pandya, however, was recently rested from the side which is set to face the Lankan lions at home for the first two Test matches. The first match between the two sides will be played on November 16 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
