Ben Stokes comes up with a slamming reply to Harsha Bhogle's long twitter thread questioning the English culture

A debate that started on the cricketing field has now gone to another level and including the things that have completely nothing to do with cricket. Here, we’re talking about the debate that started from Indian women all-rounder Deepti Sharma’s move of running Charlie Dean out at the non-striker’s end in the third of the three-match ODI series against England Women.

Recently, the veteran cricket pundit from India, Harsha Bhogle came up very harshly on the England media for unnecessarily criticizing Deepti Sharma. Harsha went on to say that Deepti did everything under the laws of the game. He also accused English media and cricket experts of having an imperial mindset of colonial times.

Harsha’s long Twitter thread couldn’t complete even 24 years and England Test skipper Ben Stokes comes up with a reply to Harsha Bhogle. Stokes went on to question the sense of Harsha on bringing culture into the midst of a debate that started on cricket.

“Harsha … bringing culture into people’s opinion over a Mankad?” read the tweet posted by Ben Stokes while he was quoting the thread posted earlier by Harsha Bhogle.

Here's the tweet of Ben Stokes on Harsha's remarks:

Earlier, Harsha came up with a series of tweets questioning the culture and mindset of the England media and the English experts or cricketers as well.

“I find it very disturbing that a very large section of the media in England is asking questions of a girl who played by the laws of the game & none at all of another who was gaining an illegal advantage and was a habitual offender. That includes reasonable people & I think (1/n),” reads the first tweet of the thread posted by Harsha

“Stop believing that the world must move at their bidding. As in society, where judges implement the law of the land, so too in cricket. But I remain disturbed by the vitriol directed towards Deepti. She played by the laws of the game and criticism of what she did must stop,” he added later.
