Australian YouTuber Rob Moody has been going down the memory lane on his official Twitter account and often posts throwback clips of controversial moments and decisions in the history of the cricket involving the Australian team. On Monday morning, Moody posted another clip from the Chennai Test of the Australia tour of India in 1998. Indian batting great Sachin Tendulkar had made 155* in the second innings but former Australian spinner Shane Warne alleges that the batsman was wrongly given not out off one of his deliveries early in the innings.

Rob Moody posted a video which showed the confusing appeal that came off Shane Warne bowling for Sachin Tendulkar's wicket in the first Test of the 1998 tour. The delivery, which seemed to pitch in the line of Tendulkar's leg stump, then turned back into the right-hander and hit him on the pads. Here is the video that he posted.
Soon enough, Shane Warne retweeted the video and exclaimed how Tendulkar should have definitely been given out. Here is Warne's tweet.

However, it is often observed that Indian fans are very possessive about Sachin Tendulkar records and many of them started replying to Warne's tweet. While some of them just trolled the great bowler for being a "cry baby", others told him why Sachin Tendulkar was technically not out.
