Udhayanidhi Stalin, the leader of Tamil Nadu's political party DMK, has condemned the 'Jai Shri Ram' chants by spectators at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad when Mohammad Rizwan was leaving the ground after being dismissed. Stalin deemed this behaviour as unacceptable and believes that it brings India to a new low.
Stalin took to X to express his views on the matter. He wrote that sport must be a means to unify countries instead of spreading hatred. "India is renowned for its sportsmanship and hospitality. However, the treatment meted out to Pakistan players at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is unacceptable and a new low. Sports should be a unifying force between countries, fostering true brotherhood. Using it as a tool to spread hatred is condemnable," he said.
The match between India and Pakistan at the Narendra Modi Stadium saw India consigning Pakistan to a heavy defeat. Pakistan suffered a seven-wicket defeat, which came on the back of a stunning batting collapse that saw them go from 155-2 to 191 all out in 42.5 overs. Rohit Sharma blazed away to 86 off 63 deliveries, hitting six fours and as many sixes, while Jasprit Bumrah claimed the Player of the Match award for his figures of 7-1-19-2.
It is hoped that the Indian spectators will be more respectful in the future and that sports will be used as a tool to foster brotherhood between countries.
