Latest test matches between England-West Indies and Australia-Bangladesh have caught many eyes. English & Australian teams were expected to win but West Indies and Bangladesh snatched the match from their hands with outstanding performances.
This was indeed a surprise for many because West Indies and Bangladesh are much lower on rankings compared to England & Australia.
Test ranking of England is 3, Australia is 4, West Indies is 8 and Bangladesh is 9. Have a look at the chart below-
Even Sachin Tendulkar was surprised by the results. The God of cricket couldn’t control his feeling and took to Twitter.He wrote-
2 upsets in 2 days! Inspiring performance by @BCBtigers! Test cricket is thriving #BANvAUS

However, the word upset was taken in a wrong way by Bangladeshi fans who started trolling him-

Beating Australia in Bangladesh isn't an upset. Both BD coach and Shakib boldly stated they can whitewash AUS before the series.

How have u regarded it as upset? It's a test match of five days. More importantly, 15 sessions. We outplayed 'em.

Cant call it upsets considering Bang and WI dominated for major part of the test. But great game though.

Well, Sachin was definitely not “upset” with the victory of Bangladesh over Australia or West Indies’ victory over England. The term “Upset” is used in cricket when an underdog team wins against a strong team. In this case, Bangladesh and West Indies were underdogs and did what was not expected from them.
Hope this makes the things clear.
