India cricketer Dinesh Karthik's fledgling broadcasting career seemed to have hit roadblock after making a sexist remark while doing commentary during the second One-Day International between England and Sri Lanka in London on Thursday. (More Cricket News)
Karthik, 36, was heard saying "batsmen and not liking bats – they go hand in hand... Most of the batters don’t seem to like their bats. They either like another person's bat or... bats are like a neighbour's wife, they always feel better."
His attempt to compare cricket bats with wives didn’t go down well and many have called out the wicketkeeper on social media.
Here are some reactions:
Karthik has so played 26 Tests, 94 ODIs and 32 T20Is for India.
