#3 Australian commentator insults Mayank Agarwal, apologises later

Mayank Agarwal

Australian commentator Kerry O'Keeffe took a dig at Indian debutant Mayank Agarwal and the Indian domestic cricket scene as well. While on air with Shane Warne and Mark Howard, Kerry said that Agarwal's Ranji Trophy triple-century came against 'some canteen staff or waiters,' in reference to the Indian domestic bowlers.

Agarwal, who made his debut against Australia today, was dismissed after scoring a well-crafted 76. The triple century which the commentator was referring to came against Maharashtra in 2017.

However, O'Keeffe later apologised for his comments on air.

"I was mentioning the runs Agarwal got in first-class cricket in India and there's been a reaction. There was no way I was demeaning the standard, it was tongue in cheek. There are lots of runs scored so apologies if anyone out there took offense," O'Keeffe was quoted as saying by news.com.au.
