"The naagin is back I thought it was in Bangladesh," writes Karthik on Twitter. Moreover, he attacked the "nagindance" and "nidhastrophy" as hashtags on the post. Here's what Karthik delivered.

It is seen as a swipe on Bangladesh because "Nagin Dance" is a celebration that Bangladesh made famous during the Nidhas Trophy that took place in 2018. Ironically, Dinesh Karthik played a key role in the final of the series and took India home with a match-winning six. India won the series and the innings once again brought Karthik into the mix of things for a stable position in Team India.
