New Delhi: Australian women’s cricket team pacer Meghan Schutt is facing flak of Indian fans after she likes controversial tweet in which a fan called Indian players as horrible person.
India women defeated England in the third ODI to complete the 3-0 series sweep. Even with England nine wickets down, Charlie Dean almost took the hosts on the brink of victory. But, Deepti Sharma ran her out at the non-striker’s end as she was backing up, to seal India’s win. The 20-year-old was heartbroken as she walked away in tears after shaking hands with the Indian players.
Recently a fan tweeted a picture of incident and captioned it ‘Tell me you’re a horrible person without telling me’. In response Megan Schutt liked the controversial tweet leaving the fans in shock.
