Sydney,
England toured Australia in a 3-match T20I series. In this series, the Australian team suffered a worst defeat at home. In the 3rd match of this series yesterday, Mitchell Starc, the Australian player, unnecessarily pissed off the player of the Indian team, which has sparked controversy.
In this match, Starc was bowled by David Malan during the 5th over of England’s innings. As Starc bowled, Buttler, who was on the opposite end, came over the white line. Later, when the ball hit by Malan went to Starc’s hands, he noticed that Buttler had crossed the opposite end and told him, “I am not Deepti Sharma to run Mankat out. I will not do that. You should not keep coming out for that.”
Stark’s audio on this was recorded on Stump. After the video went viral on social media, Indian fans started criticizing him. Recently, in the ODI series against the same England team, Indian player Deepti Sharma was run out in Mankat style. Some former players criticized it even though it was within the ICC rules. At the same time he had support.
Former Indian player Hemang Pathani slammed Starc for talking about Deepti Sharma. In his Twitter post, he said, “Starc, what you did was very bad. What Deepthi did was within the rules of the game. If you want to warn ‘I’m a striker’ and not get him out, that’s fine. That’s your decision. But what you brought Deepthi into this is not what the cricketing world expected from you. ” has posted.
