Former New Zealand cricketer Martin Guptill recently announced his retirement from international cricket. In a funny incident, Guptill once jokingly called Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah ch**tiya, an abusive term.

In a video posted by a user on Instagram, Guptill could be seen calling Bumrah ch**tiya. Rohit Sharma, also in the video, pointed out at Guptill and Bumrah having a conversation.

After using the word, Martin Guptill blamed Rohit for it, saying that the Indian batter taught him the word. Both Guptill and Bumrah also shared a laugh after the incident.

In the same video, Guptill is also seen calling Yuzvendra Chahal "g**ndu" in a separate incident. After a T20I match between New Zealand and India, Guptill and Rohit were having a conversation on the ground.

Yuzvendra Chahal walked up to both the players when Guptill used the phrase "aye g**ndu" to address Chahal. While this is also a cuss word, it was only used on a funny note.
