Mayanti Langar, who is the wife of Indian cricketer Stuart Binny, has been doing her job of hosting the pre and post-match shows on Star Sports pretty well.
However, she was involved in a verbal altercation with a Twitterati as he tagged her in an irrelevant post after the Indian squad was picked for the ODI series in South Africa.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the 17-member team for the upcoming six-match ODI series against South Africa in their own den on Saturday.
The selectors opted to go with the wrist-spinners and continued to ignore Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja for the umpteenth time this season. Even Suresh Raina and Yuvraj Singh was not picked despite clearing the ‘Yo-Yo’ fitness test.
Bemused Mayanti Langer
The official Twitter handle of BCCI revealed the news of India’s 17 member squad for the ODIs in South Africa.

Soon the comments started to flow as fans analyzed the side with their perspective. The parody account of Mayanti Langer, however, trolled the selection committee in a way by tweeting, “Very Good Selection. Ashwin is useless in Overseas in limited overs cricket. Team India lost champions trophy because of ashwin. Select one more multi talented all rounder like Stuart Binny.”

But a Twitterati unnecessarily tagged Mayanti Langer and criticised her for supporting her husband.

The comment made Mayanti Langer unhappy as she blasted out on him and requested him not to tag her in such irrelevant posts.
Mayanti’s reply read, “You do realize that’s not me right? Request you not to tag me. Thanks.”

The user, however, realized that he has messed up the things and right away apologized to the anchor for his mistake.
@MayantiLanger_B pardon me It was my mistake
