‘Jao tumhe maaf kiya’ – Fans react as Harry Brook apologises for his ‘Indian Fans’ remark during IPL 2023

England batter Harry Brook has said that he regrets his comments during the IPL 2023. He took a dig at Indian trolls after scoring his maiden IPL hundred against Kolkata Knight Riders. However, before and after this inning Brook failed during the tournament and was subsequently released ahead of the IPL 2024 player retention. Meanwhile, during an interview, the right-hander has said that he felt like an idiot after making those comments.

“I was an idiot and I said that stupid thing in an interview which I regret a little bit,” Brook, who hit a fifty in the first ODI against the West Indies in Antigua on December 3 said, as quoted by the BBC.

The T20 World Cup 2022 winner added that in a country like India, he ends up spending time on Twitter and Instagram.

“In India, you end up sitting in your hotel room, not much to do so I find myself just scrolling Instagram or Twitter or whatever and come across stuff you just don’t want to see. I thought it was the right idea to get off it. I’ve obviously still got Instagram and Twitter but thankfully I’ve got someone running it for me,” he added.

I have been off social media for a while now: Harry Brook

The England batter further added that he has deleted social media platforms in the last few months to avoid negativity.

“I’ve been off social media for a while now, anything I stumble across, I delete it from the phone. I haven’t really seen any negativity, I think that’s helped my game, helped my mental health and everything to be off social media and seeing all the negativity that brings,” he added.

This is how Twitter reacted
