Mayank Agarwal dazzled us with his batting on debut in the 3rd Test vs Australia in Melbourne. But one commentator got involved in controversy after apparently insulting the quality of first-class cricket in India.
Kerry O’Keefe, who was doing commentary while Mayank was batting, seemed to have made an insensitive remark. According to fans on Twitter, he said that Mayank may have scored his 304 against ‘some canteen staff or waiters.’ 304 is Mayank’s highest first-class score.

Fans were in no mood to take this lightly and they went after him on Twitter:
Kerry apologised for his comments later on, but not before he was subjected to heavy trolling online.
