Why Steve Smith calls Peter Siddle ‘Chacha’

There is an interesting reason behind Peter Siddle being called ‘Chacha’. The nickname started during the Big Bash League when Haris Rauf gave him this name. Since then, it has stayed with him, and many players now call him by this name.

Siddle himself has spoken about this nickname in the past. He once jokingly called himself a “foreign Chacha” while talking about Iftikhar Ahmed, who is known as the “local Chacha.” This made the nickname even more popular among fans and players.
