In the final match of the recently concluded ICC Cricket World Cup, the Indian team faced defeat against Australia. Despite winning 10 matches in a row and reaching the final, the Indian team failed to perform well in this crucial match.
During the conclusion of the match, India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, and Australia’s Deputy Prime Minister, Richard Marles, were present at the stadium.
However, following India’s defeat, political discussions have surfaced. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s remarks referring to Modi as a pawn have stirred controversy.
Responding to this controversy, India’s leading fast bowler, Mohammad Shami, who was the top scorer of the 2023 World Cup, was surrounded by the media upon arriving at his home in Amroha.
When questioned about Rahul Gandhi’s statement and the chaos at the stadium due to India’s loss, Shami expressed his disinterest in controversial issues.
He emphasized the importance of focusing on the fundamental aspects that the team had diligently worked on for two months. Shami questioned the need to politicize such matters, stating that the team does not engage in such debates.
Amidst the criticism from Congress over Shami’s response, the BJP has also joined in the discourse. Additionally, a video featuring Priyanka Gandhi discussing former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi is gaining attention and going viral.
Following the Indian team’s defeat in the final, all the players appeared saddened and disappointed. Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the dressing room to console and uplift the players.
Modi provided words of encouragement and asked senior players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to motivate the team. He praised the team for their exceptional performance in winning 10 matches. Modi expressed that setbacks are part of the game and embraced Shami while commending his performance.
