The Australian media is continuously fishing out something about the Nagpur turf even before the start of the first of the four-match Test series. Earlier, the renowned Australian media house initiated a sensation by smelling a speculated ploy from Indian management with the pitches.
Now, the same media house of Australia has come up with a question mark on the dismissal of opening batter Usman Khawaja off Mohammed Siraj only in the second over of the match. Fox Cricket happened to post the picture of DRS results and tried to put a question mark on the ball tracker.
"Ball tracker broken? 🤔"Aussies left stunned just minutes into the first Test by "interesting" DRS moment,” read the tweet posted by Fox Cricket on their Twitter handle.

Although this attitude of Australian media didn’t really go down well with the Indian cricket fans and they immediately took to Twitter to call out Aussies making unnecessary questions apart from the game of cricket. The fans also countered the Australian media by reminding them of what the Aussies used to do when they were dominating cricket.
Here’s how fans reacted:
Stunned hi rehte ho humesha 😂

If you don't know how to play, then don't criticise the systems.
