Telugu Conversation Catches Fans’ Attention
The conversation reportedly focused on running between the wickets and calling for runs. Tilak appeared to remind Nitish about calling clearly before attempting a second run. Their casual exchange in their mother tongue gave fans a glimpse of the friendly bond between the two Telugu-speaking cricketers.
In the conversation, Tilak reportedly told Nitish, “Nuvvu call ivvaledu,” which means, “You did not call.” Nitish responded in Telugu, saying that he would make the run comfortably. Tilak then appeared to tell him to at least call out “two” before running.
