Australia women's cricketer Alyssa Healy was visibly upset over a fan's tweet for Australia men's pacer and her husband Mitchell Starc. The fan laughed while comparing Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj's count of wickets with Starc for the series.

Starc, after the first innings of India in the fourth Test, has 11 wickets in the Border-Gavaskar series. Siraj was put himself ahead of him in wicket count after a fifer in the second innings of Australia at Gabba. He now has 13 wickets in the series after featuring in three matches. 

"Lmao Siraj has more wickets than Starc in this series #AUSvIND," wrote the fan laughing at Starc's poor outing in the ongoing series.

Healy wasn't amused with the tweet and seems like she was reading tweets related to Starc as the fan hadn't tagged her. She praised Siraj for her efforts and wrote, "Why’s it funny?! Reflects Siraj’s ability and reward for effort."

After another fan questioned her if she thinks Starc has no ability? Healy responded by saying, "Actually no. I’m giving credit to a young Indian bowler who’s had an incredible series and should be praised for his efforts!".

Siraj bagged his maiden fifer in Test cricket on Monday (January 18). He made his debut in the second Test of the series and was included in the side after Mohammad Shami got ruled out because of injury.
