New Delhi, Aug 29: A tweet from International Cricket Council isn't going down well with the fans of Indian cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar.
In the latest tweet, the ICC referred England all-rounder Ben Stokes as the 'greatest cricketer of all time'.
While quoting one of its tweets from the ICC World Cup 2019, in which Tendulkar and Stokes could be seen posing together, the ICC captioned it 'The greatest cricketer of all time along with Sachin Tendulkar' with a 'wink' smiley.
After Stokes delivered a match-winning performance a couple of days ago in the third Ashes Test match against Australia, the ICC shared the same tweet with a fresh caption, 'told you so'.
ICC's tweet sparked an outrage on the social media and fans criticised the global cricketing body for undermining the achievements of legendary India cricketer.
While they agreed that Stokes deserved all the appreciation for his superlative performances in the year 2019, they were averse to ICC's comparison with Tendulkar.
Told you so 😉 https://t.co/b4SFcEVDWk

Shall I talk about centuries??
I think Sachin deserves more respect than this.. In the late 90s he shouldered the Entire Indian cricket team on his Own..countless times.. The only difference.. There wasn't any Twitter during that time..

Dude are you like Crazy. Why Not Braithwaite is Greatest hitting 4 sixes in final over to win cup for WI.

Instead of giving Greatest tag, You can use one of the Greatest moments/ Players. And yes Just don't compare.
You will never know how much @sachin_rt has given to cricket.

This admin is tweeting without knowing who the GOD of CRICKET is.......By mocking Tendulkar you are mocking Cricket! Have some cricket facts and sense before you tweet.

A couple of matches are not sufficient to prove someone greatest of all time. It takes whole of career to define someone's character. How long you sustain in your peak time will recognise you as a great cricketer and need to think of between greatest and the God.
