MARIA Sharapova has enraged about a billion cricket fans in India by admitting she has no idea who Sachin Tendulkar is.
The Indian legend was watching from Wimbledon’s Royal Box, along with former English footballer David Beckham, when Sharapova beat Alison Riske in the tournament’s third round last week. Later, a reporter asked Sharapova about the pair.
“Sachin Tendulkar was the other person who came in at the same time as David. Do you know who Sachin is?” the journalist asked.
“I don’t,” Sharapova replied. Big mistake.
India’s most passionate cricket fans, who outnumber the populations of most countries, responded to Sharapova’s blasphemous admission by spamming every post on her Facebook page with thousands of comments. At least, that was stage one of their gargantuan trolling campaign.
Some of Tendulkar’s supporters insulted the Russian tennis star. Others listed his stupendous career statistics. And while a few brave people admonished their compatriots for acting so childishly, more still simply repeated Tendulkar’s name, as though Sharapova would learn who he was through repetition.
