“He [Mayank] has got a message for Kerry... 'when you do open your canteen, he wants to come and smell the coffee. He wants to compare it to the ones back in India...coffee here's better or the ones back home'." "Mayank Agarwal...let's not take it from him. We could have easily been three down for 80 and then it would have been a different ball game. He dug deep," he added. This comment left Shane Warne and Mark Waugh in splits. Warne and Waugh were a part of the broadcasters’ team when the comment was made by Kerry. Watch the video below.

The Australian while apologizing for the remark said, “I was mentioning the runs Agarwal got in first-class cricket in India and there's been a reaction. There was no way I was demeaning the standard, it was tongue in cheek. There are lots of runs scored so apologies if anyone out there took offence."
