Recently, veteran New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor has announced his retirement which began way back in March 2006. While he will be seen until the end of the Kiwis’ home season, many Indian fans also recalled the time when he was caught swearing in Hindi during a Test match against Team India.

However, the veteran is currently playing his penultimate Test match, against Bangladesh. He will play his final Test match at Christchurch next week as well. With this, it will be his 112 tests for his country as well. Meanwhile, the incident happened when the Kiwis appealed for dismissal but the umpire wasn’t interested. Soon, the camera focused on Ross Taylor who can be seen shouting “F***”.

Meanwhile, fast bowler Tim Southee has paid a warm and heartfelt tribute to him recently. “Any time a player retires, it’s a messy moment especially when someone who has played and been a regular in the squad for such a long period of time. It will take some adjusting to look around and not see Ross as a player or have him in this side. That assurance of having a quality player around, and the runs he’s had and the job he’s done for this side over a long period of time has been amazing,” he stated.

“We did a bit of training in Hamilton pre-Christmas. He told me there. Anytime someone says that you’re taken back a little bit, but he’s obviously made that decision. It’s been great to play alongside him for so long and he let me know just before Christmas. Like I said, it’s a strange feeling when you see guys come and go. Especially when guys have been around for a long time,” he again told.
