Video: Stuart Broad drops f-bomb, abuses Rishabh Pant; Twitter rips apart Englishman
Nottingham: The cricket fans on Twitter were all out in force as they slammed the England pacer for having a go at young Indian Test debutant Rishabh Pant on Day two of the third England versus India Test here on Sunday.
India resumed Day two at the overnight score of 307/6, with Pant batting in the middle. While India harboured hopes of adding at least 50-60 runs to their overnight total, James Anderson and Broad made short work of Indian lower order as India were all out for 329, with Broad dismissing Pant for 24 as the left-hander chopped one back onto the stumps.
However, what irked the Indian fans was Broad’s angry send off to Pant. The England pacer swore at Pant as he put his head down and started to walk, disappointed.
The Twitterati then took over and had a crack at Broad.
I'm English and I'm embarrassed by that send off Stuart Broad gave a young Pant on debut. Maybe frustration after bowling well yesterday and not getting wickets. Hope he looks back and regretts it. Game needs a bit of spice but not like that. #ENGvIND #Broad #Pant

Doesn't matter now. #ViratKohli will take a note of this for sure 😂#ENGvIND
Stuart broad is so lucky to have the surname that he has. He will probably get away because the men who have to report him first have to work with his dad as well. Let’s see if any of the on field umpires have the guts to report him for his Pant send-off #cricket #EngvInd

The @ICC have taken action against Stuart Broad for the Send off of Pant and have decided to ban KG Rabada for one match #ENGvIND

Stuart Broad is talking a bit too much. @RishabPant777 maybe the 2nd innings you can remind him about the @YUVSTRONG12 6 sixes. #ENGvIND

Stuart Broad mouthing off Rishabh Pant on the latter's debut Test. Cute. Waiting for another Yuvraj Singh to emerge. #ENGvIND

Don't worry. Stuart Broad will regret it pretty soon. Have faith in @imVkohli! He doesn't let his teammates down and he takes the revenge sooner than you expect. #ENGvIND

Very classy Stuart Broad. Giving a send-off to a 20-year-old. No wonder you are one of the most disliked cricketers. #EngvInd

Broad sledging, cute. Expect it to more amplified by Virat Kohli. Especially since a newbie has been sledged at. This is going to be fun ðŸ"¥. #ENGvIND

Broad sledging Pant. Try doing that to Kohli mate. Just try. #ENGvIND

Rishab Pant began his Test career with a six, and this douchebag Stuart Broad couldn't fathom it. I bet he still has nightmares about Yuvi destroying him. 😠#ENGvIND #INDvENG

Dear Broad,

Just to remind you - Kohli knows how to give it back 👊
Wait and watch, now. #ENGvIND
