Rohit sharma body shaming row: The anger of veteran cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has erupted when Congress leader Shama Mohammed was described as Team India captain Rohit Sharma as fat. The Congress leader had questioned Rohit Sharma’s fitness and also described him as the average captain. His statement arose a lot of controversy and the BJP also launched a scathing attack on the Congress. Now veteran cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has also jumped in this case and he has fiercely lashed out at Congress leader Shama Mohammad.
Mental strength is more important
Sunil Gavaskar, who has represented India for a long time in cricket, said that mental strength is the most important thing in cricket and the player’s body has nothing to do with it. He said that if fitness is the first criterion of selection, then models should be selected in the team. Gavaskar, who has made all the records playing for India, said that the most important thing is mental strength. If you can last at the crease for a long time, it is very important for cricket. Batting for a long time and scoring runs is more important for the cricketer.
This is not a modeling competition
He said that I have always said that if you want only thin boys, then you should go to the modeling competition and choose all the models. This is not the case here. The most important thing here is whether you can play good cricket or not.
Referring to Sarfaraz Khan, Gavaskar said that he was defamed for a long time. But if they score 150 runs for India in the Test match and after that they score more than two or three fifty, then what is the problem in this?
Congress leader had given controversial statement
On Sunday, during the match between India and New Zealand, Congress spokesperson Dr. Shama Mohammad made a controversial remarks about Rohit Sharma. In a post on social media, the Congress leader had advised Rohit Sharma to lose weight, describing him as a fat player. He even said that he is the worst and disappointing captain of India so far. Shama said that what is the world class in Rohit compared to former captains like Ganguly, Tendulkar, Dravid, Dhoni, Kohli, Kapil Dev, Shastri? He is an average captain as well as an average player.
Users were enraged at this post of Congress leader. Even a Pakistani sports journalist expressed displeasure over the Congress leader’s remarks and described Rohit Sharma as a world -class player. Despite this, the Congress leader did not listen and he again criticized Rohit Sharma and described him as the average captain. He said that Rohit Sharma is quite lucky that he remains the captain of the Indian cricket team. Later, under the pressure of Congress leadership, Shama Mohammed deleted his post.
