[Saba Sports News] In a recent viral video, South African players attempted to pronounce the tongue-twisting name “Thiruvananthapuram,” reflecting the linguistic diversity of India.
New Zealand’s pace sensation, Lockie Ferguson, also embraced this diversity by reenacting a famous dialogue from the Bollywood film ‘Lagaan’ in a video shared by the ICC during World Cup warm-ups. Despite initial struggles, he delivered the line with impeccable style, leaving fans and fellow cricketers amused.
Ferguson, known for his express pace and recent commendable performances, is set to make an impact at the 2023 World Cup. In a warm-up game against Pakistan, he took 1/34, and in the ODI series against Bangladesh, he claimed two crucial wickets.
With experience in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Ferguson is well-prepared for subcontinental conditions and aims to make a significant impact in the ICC event.
