Twitterati Slams Aussie Commentator Kerry O’ Keefe For Insulting Mayank Agarwal On Live TV | RVCJS
India vs Australia’s Boxing Day test match kickstarted today and it gave Team India a very good debut in form of Mayank Agarwal. The batsman impressed everyone with a triple century in Ranji Trophy and did it again as he played a cool 76 run innings against Australia. He was a treat for Indian fans while he hit some really good strokes.

However, Australian commentator Kerry O’ Keefe left everyone in a bad taste as he tried to insult the debutante.
While doing live commentary, he passed insulting remarks on Mayank as he said that his triple hundred in Ranji Trophy must have been scored against a team like Canteen XI, where the bowlers would have been chefs and waiters.
Now that’s really bad. Isn’t it?
Twitterati which included both Indian and International fans disliked his comment and slammed him really hard on the microblogging site. Here are some of the reactions-

It might just be me, but it's pretty uncool to ridicule the FC comp of another country while using dubious stereotypes for a cheap laugh…

Exactly. These guys have worked their butts off to get to this level. Really poor form to make fun of that.

O’Keefe is a buffoon. That diatribe on the #RanjiTrophy competition was a. Classic casual racism, b. Disgracefully inaccurate. Strong competition providing an excellent breeding ground for test cricket. I thought we’d got rid of this rubbish with 9 losing the gig.
