The tweet has attracted harsh criticism from fans. “Vice-captain is in the last row and First Lady of Indian cricket is in the front row. These people giving lecture online a few days back,” one person wrote. “So I guess all other members are bachelors,” another person wrote, alluding to the absence of any other player’s partner.
