Gautam Gambhir gives a befitting reply to Kirti Azad.
In fact, Kirti Azad, a member of the 1983 World Cup-winning team, questioned the visit of Indian team captain Suryakumar Yadav, coach Gautam Gambhir, and Jay Shah to the temple after becoming world champions, asking why the trophy was taken only to the temple. He said that if this was done, it should have been taken to places of worship of other religions as well. Azad called this move discriminatory.
Gautam Gambhir's strong response
Reacting to these allegations, Gautam Gambhir said that making such statements is not right and diminishes the players' hard work and achievements. He said that this is a proud moment for the entire country and should be celebrated as such.
During an ANI podcast, Gambhir, responding to a question about Kirti Azad's tweet, said,
This question is not even worth answering. Considering the pressure the players faced after losing a match, which was against South Africa, and now that you are making such a statement, you are truly demeaning your own players and your own team, which should not be done. - Gautam Gambhir
