Batter is a colloquial for batsman in a game of cricket hence the Hindi translation, perhaps by Google, showed it to be ballebaaz. The words Idli/Dosa Batter were printed on the packet in English, Tamil and Hindi languages and the literal translation left Twitterati in splits. Taking to his handle on the microblogging site, a user shared the picture of the packet and captioned it, Damn you Google Translate! #Indyeah! (sic).

What followed were hilarious reactions from other users who instantly cracked up the mood on social media amid the pandemic gloom. While one user wrote, If batter is ballebaaz then battery should be artillery barrage no? What would barrage be? Legal drinking age? (sic), another commented, what if I am a bowler? what do I eat then? (sic) and yet another tweeted, Banda ab bats khayega (A guy will now eat bats?) sic.
