The person complained that Australian batter disrespectfully did this act to hurt Indian Cricketing Fans as Australia won the world cup 2023 final against India to win their 6th 50 over world cup.
Keshav has sent one copy of this FIR to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding for a permanent ban on Mitchell Marsh to play in IPL and all types of cricketing activities in India.

March on the other side did not react to this controversy and returned home after winning the world cup.
