Perhaps, the apologies made by Kerry O’Keeffe hasn’t yielded success in healing the hurt received by the Indian fans. As an action, the Indian broadcaster has removed his commentary for the ongoing Test match between Australia and India at Sydney. Perhaps, the broadcaster wants to show their spectators that they won’t encourage such poor stuff.
Earlier, the former Australian cricketer-turned-Broadcaster Keery O’Keeffe ridiculed the scores of Mayank Agarwal in first-class cricket. He called that Mayank Agarwal’s triple hundred might have come against the waiters and the canteen people.
Kerry O’Keeffe missed out for Sydney Test:
Though there were not enough video or audio proofs to make it viral, the people, who witnessed the show has outbursted their emotions on the social media. They termed that it was cheap essence from the Australian commentator, Kerry O’Keeffe.
However, it was done and dusted, as he gave his apologies for the same. But, yet again, he came up with a similar comment, which hurt the Indian fans. After insulting Indian domestic cricket, he got his pronunciation wrong of certain Indian players and ridiculed with their names as well.
For the same, he has been blacked-out by Indian broadcaster. The news was revealed by The Telegraph who quoted ‘The Indian broadcaster has blacked-out Kerry O’Keeffe’s commentary after remarks he made during the second Test.”

Well, coming to the game, India won the toss at Sydney to ask Australians to take the bowling. KL Rahul, who replaced Rohit Sharma in the side, yet again failed to show his class on the middle. He once again handed his wicket to Josh Hazlewood.
Meanwhile, Mayank Agarwal and Cheteshwar Pujara showed their fantastic skills to put Australians chasing the leather more often than not. Mayank, once again missed out on a hundred while Pujara scored his 18th Test century.
