Mayank Agarwal became the highest scoring Indian to make a Test debut against Australia, today.
However, despite the fact that his 76-run innings got him a place in the record books, Australian commentator Kerry O’Keefe found a reason to ridicule him on television.
While taking a dig at India’s first-class cricket, he allegedly said that Mayank’s triple hundred in Ranji Trophy must have been scored against a team like ‘Canteen XI’, where the bowlers would have been ‘chefs and waiters’.
To which his fellow commentator Mark Waugh allegedly replied:
His average in India is 50 which is like 40 in Australia.
