Alyssa Healy and the Australian women’s cricket team’s golden run continued as they added the Commonwealth Games 2022 Gold Medal to their already illustrious triumphant tally. However, Healy’s antics on social media copped her a lot of flak and trolls from the Indian fans as she seemingly took a dig at them on Twitter.
Australia had been on an incredible winning surge recently. They won the 2020 T20 World Cup, defeating India in the final, followed by the 2022 ODI World Cup, defeating rivals England in the final.
Opener Alyssa Healy has gained a reputation to be their big match player after putting up Player of the Match performances in both the aforementioned finals. Australia further came out trumps against India in the CWG Final at Edgbaston on Sunday in a close 9-run victory.
Healy, though, this time managed only 7 runs, but took a great diving catch of India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who scored 65 off 43 and was threatening to take India home in the run-chase of 162. But, wickets of Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues triggered a collapse from which India couldn’t recover.
Australia bagged the Gold medal, while India secured Silver. New Zealand finished third on the podium with Bronze.
Alyssa Healy’s apparent dig at Indian fans creates uproar
On Tuesday, Healy took to Twitter to upload a picture in which there was a board that read: “SALTY”. She didn’t caption or wrote anything, but it was very much clear that she was responding to the Indian fans who had been commenting under her previous posts; also many of the Indian fans had raised the question regarding Australian all-rounder Tahila McGrath playing in the final despite testing positive for covid-19 ahead of the start of play.

Indian fand were utterly displeased and angry about Healy’s latest Twitter post. And the Aussie wicket-keeper was trolled heavily on the social platform.
Here are some of the reactions:
