India vs Australia 2018: Twitter Slams Alex Carey For Cheating In First T20I

Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey was slammed by the fans for his unsporting conduct during the first T20I against India on Wednesday.

The India-Australia fixture rarely disappoints. The celebrated fixture is always full of sledging, banters, controversies and not to forget world-level contest between bat and ball. Well, the first T20I between the two did not see any big controversy but Alex Carey somehow managed to grab the limelight for all the wrong reasons.

The wicketkeeper tried to stump KL Rahul out by a foul way and coped heavy criticism for his conduct. The incident took place in the ninth over. Rahul had hit a shortish delivery from Adam Zampa towards backward point. However, the bails were soon seen lying on the ground.

Many thought that it was a hit wicket and the on-field umpires soon referred it to the third umpire. However, replays showed Carey had broken the stumps with his gloves. The delivery was then declared a no-ball. Carey was left red-faced for his conduct while Rahul got a free hit. To make matters worse for himself, Carey did not admit that he broke the stumps.
