Australia player Marnus Labuschagne made headlines on social media for the wrong reason recently. However, the Women’s Cricket Tournament of 2022 Commonwealth Games got underway on 29th July with Australia and India playing in the opener. Cricket made a comeback on the Commonwealth stage after 1988 as well.
Hours prior to it, former India cricketers and batting legend, Sachin Tendulkar took to Twitter to share a good-luck message for the Indian Women’s Cricket Team as well. He wrote, “Wonderful to see cricket back in the Commonwealth Games. Hope this takes our beautiful game to newer audiences. Best wishes to @BCCIWomen’s team for their CWG22 campaign.”

Meanwhile, Marnus Labuschagne soon replied to it, adding, “Agreed Sachin. Aus v (versus) India is going to be an amazing opener too.”

However, the first two words of his tweet have proved wrong some Indian cricket fans. They believe that his reply lacked ‘respect’ for the greatness of Sachin Tendulkar as well as in the tweet as he didn’t use the word ‘sir’ to Sachin’s name. Meanwhile, several fans have slammed Marnus Labuschagne since then.

“You were in your nappies Labuschagne when he made his debut atleast give him some respect,” one of the users tweeted. And many have also tweeted on this as well.
