'You are the one crying and not Sachin' - Fans lash out at Stuart Broad as he uses Sachin Tendulkar's name on legitimacy of dismissal

Veteran English pacer Stuart Broad has come on the receiving end of criticism from the Indian cricket fans since the moment he questioned the ‘Mankading’ run-out by Deepti Sharma. Later on, Stuart Broad took a step ahead to prove himself legit and recall an incident involving the former Indian great Sachin Tendulkar.

Advertisment

Both tweets from him, first on Deepti Sharma and then on former legend Sachin Tendulkar didn’t go down with the Indian cricket fans. They took no time in lashing out at the senior pacer. Fans immediately went on to recall an incident when he refused to walk even after nicking the ball in the hands of the fielder towards the first slip.

Here're the tweets from Stuart Broad:

A run out? Terrible way to finish the game

https://t.co/1qiw9zssF5 I repeat. & have 1,000 examples- but Sachin Tendulkar was classed as “Lucky” for nicking it & not walking here.
Thank you

Here’s how fans reacted to the tweet of Stuart Broad mentioning Sachin Tendulkar:

Nicking the ball to first slip and standing your ground as if nothing happened, is actually terrible. A Run-out isn’t. I guess, Match Refree Chris Broad needs to educate his son on the laws of cricket 😃 #CricketTwitter #ENGvIND https://t.co/yNlKPnMkGl

Sachin isn't the one crying about a legitimate dismissal, you are.

That's why people will question your lofty standards of integrity and not his.

You are the one crying and not Sachin. So, question would be raised on you. It's very easy to understand if you just try

Sachin isn't here teaching us the spirit of the game. But here you are. That same spirit calls for you to walk off after nicking off but you chose not too & you are still defending that act. Spirit (If it exists) can't be absolute in one case & negotiable in the other.

Shameless Broad comes to defend himself 😂😂

— Shahnad Chaudhary (@Sameer2490) September 24, 2022

rly? Sachin has walked a million times in such situations. once when he probably didn't notice it, u point it out? his edge wasn't even as obvious as urs

You has every right not to walk.Umpire needs to make the decision.much like Deepti had every right to run the non striker out. The pt isn’t abt not walking- it’s about the double standards in the questioning of a run out, while not walking is considered perfectly ok.

This whole debate on the legitimacy of a dismissal started after the ‘Mankading’ run-out attempt from Indian all-rounder Deepti Sharma. She took the wicket of Charlotte Dean in the 44^th over of the innings when England women had lost nine wickets on the score of 153 runs while chasing the target of 170 runs against the women in blue.

Deepti Sharma was about to bowl the fourth ball of the over, at the same time she saw that English batter Charlotte Dean went outside the popping crease of the non-striker’s end. Sharma took no time in dismissing Dean before she completed her action of bowling.

Although, this attempt from the star Indian all-rounder has divided the cricketing fraternity into multiple opinions. Some are questioning the spirit of Sharma towards the game of cricket. Whereas, Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur went on to defend her teammate and said that it was completely ‘fair and within the rules of the game’.

Now, the Indian women will be seen in action again during the Women’s T20 Asia Cup 2022. The tournament is commencing next month on the 1^st of October. Harmanpreet & co. will start their campaign of the tournament against Sri Lanka in the second match of day 1.
