IPL 2021: KKR skipper Eoin Morgan and RR batsman Jos Buttler in TROUBLE after old tweets mocking Indians resurface

According to a report in telegraph.co.uk, Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler mocked Indians by using the word ‘Sir’. A look at Buttler's tweets confirms that he did use the word ‘Sir’ and wrote broken English, which allegedly made fun of Indians.

England paceman Ollie Robinson’s suspension by the England Cricket Board (ECB) has opened a long history of racist tweets by English cricketers. A day after the ECB opened investigation into another unnamed cricketer for offensive tweet, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain and England limited-overs skipper Eoin Morgan as well as Rajasthan Royals (RR) wicketkeeper batsman Jos Buttler’s old tweets mocking Indians are also being investigated by the England board. According to a report in telegraph.co.uk, Morgan and Buttler mocked Indians by using the word ‘Sir’. A look at Buttler's tweets confirms that he did use the word ‘Sir’ and wrote broken English, which allegedly made fun of Indians. Morgan, who took over KKR captaincy from Dinesh Karthik, also used the word ‘Sir’ for Morgan while congratulating him on May 18, 2018. Buttler scored an unbeaten 94 off 53 for Rajasthan Royals on that day. Brendon McCullum, the present head coach of Kolkata Knight Riders, reacted to Morgan’s tweet and allegedly mocked the Indians. “@josbuttler Sir, you play very good opening batting,” wrote Morgan.
