Twitter chokes after Indian cricket team is served beef pasta
Follow UsStirring up a controversy, India’s cricket body Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) tweeted the picture of menu served to the Indian cricket team at lunch which featured beef in it.
On the third day of the second cricket Test against England at Lord's in London, the Indian cricket team's lunch menu had braised beef pasta along with other dishes.
It is unclear whether both the teams were served the same menu or it was just for India.
A well earned Lunch for #TeamIndia.

However, some Twitter users in India reacted angrily at the menu for lunch while others seemed to play it down.

And they refused to eat anything in protest. That’s why they are getting thrashed on the ground. A cricket team can’t bat or bowl on an empty stomach, you see... https://t.co/2pqczVaZAL
