Following the World Cup final, controversies continue to arise. Initially, the focus was on Mitchell Marsh’s action of placing his feet on the World Cup trophy, drawing criticism from Indian fans on social media. Now, an Australian account has posted on Instagram, mocking the Indian team, further fueling the ongoing controversies.
The Betoota Advocate, an Australian satire Instagram page, sparked controversy by sharing a demeaning meme depicting Indian cricketers, including Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, as newborn babies. The mock headline humorously suggests a “South Australia Man Giving Birth to World Record 11 Sons.”
The post features Travis Head’s image morphed into the mother in a delivery room. The offensive content has elicited negative responses from Indians, and what intensified the virality was Pat Cummins’ laugh reaction in the comments. Additionally, Glenn Maxwell, who scored 201 not out in the World Cup, and former captain Aaron Finch reportedly liked the post, according to Times Now.
