England all-rounder Ben Stokes has called out veteran
commentator Harsha Bhogle after the popular sports presenter lashed out at
English media for castigating Indian all-rounder Deepti Sharma following her
controversial run-out. Deepti was quick to punish Charlie Dean for backing up too
far at the non-striker's end in the 3rd One Day International (ODI) of the
bilateral series between India and England at the Lord's Cricket Stadium.
Deepti's legal run-out of England batter Dean sparked a
massive 'spirit of the game' debate in the cricket spectrum. After several
cricket luminaries shared their views over the run-out controversy, popular
commentator Bhogle penned a lengthy note and slammed the English media for
criticising Deepti's clever dismissal following India's monumental win over England.
"It is a cultural thing. The English thought it was
wrong to do so & because they ruled over a large part of the cricket world,
they told everyone it was wrong. The colonial domination was so powerful that
few questioned it," Bhogle said in his viral Twitter thread. Taking
cognisance of Bhogle's remarks against the English media, veteran all-rounder
Stokes opted to lash out at the veteran Indian commentator in a series of
tweets.
"Harsha .. 2019 WC final was over 2 years ago, I still
till this day receive countless messages calling me all sorts from Indian fans,
does this disturb you? (sic)," Stokes tweeted.
Earlier, Stokes dropped a noteworthy reaction on Twitter
after the star all-rounder was mentioned in several viral tweets. For the
unversed, internet warriors had opted to draw a comparison between Deepti's
run-out and Stokes' bat- deflection incident in the 2019 World Cup final
against New Zealand. "Why are people comparing a ball deflecting of my bat
to a mankad," Stokes tweeted.
