Yashasvi Jaiswal added a dash of humor to a tense Day 3 of the India vs England fourth Test at Old Trafford, as the young opener's stump mic banter left fans and commentators in splits. In a moment that instantly went viral, Jaiswal was heard chirping at the English batters from close-in fielding position, saying: “Macha, I need some English here. I want to hear some English from you, come on.”
The cheeky one-liner, delivered with perfect comic timing, came during a phase when India was hunting for wickets and trying to break a stubborn English partnership. Jaiswal’s light-hearted jibe not only amused viewers but also reflected the 22-year-old’s unique way of staying engaged and keeping the energy up on the field.
“Macha,” a South Indian slang term for “buddy” or “bro,” added to the comic flavor of the line, especially when mixed with his mock demand for the opposition to speak English. While the comment was clearly tongue-in-cheek, it showcased Jaiswal’s comfort and confidence in the heat of battle, an impressive quality for someone still early in his Test career.
