International Cricket Council irked the fans of god of cricket Sachin Tendulkar with their latest tweet. English cricketer Ben Stokes is at his career high rankings.
Stokes played a magnificent knock in the third test against Australia at the Ashes test. It can be said that Ben won the match against the Ashes single-handedly by scoring a smashing ton and took the responsibility on his shoulder to win the match when England were struggling at 286 for 9 as they were chasing 359.
Cricket fanatics are lauding the brilliant knock of Ben Stokes. However, International Cricket Council (ICC) retweeted a picture of Cricket World Cup featuring Ben Stokes and Sachin Tendulkar from the award ceremony of ICC World Cup 2019 which created a buzz for its caption, The greatest cricketer of all time and Sachin Tendulkar.

I think Sachin deserves more respect than this.. In the late 90s he shouldered the Entire Indian cricket team on his Own..countless times.. The only difference.. There wasn't any Twitter during that time..
