Anushka Sharma joining the Indian team for dinner at the Indian High Commission’s house created quite a lot of controversy. While a few netizens supported Anushka for the same, but most of them slammed her for being a part of the official picture of the team. Even LatestLY.com slammed the actress yesterday as the spot was meant for Indian captain Ajinkya Rahane, who was even difficult to spot in the snap. Now, Rohit Sharma also indirectly expressed his opinion on the issue.
So here’s what happened. An Internet user posted his views in which he went on to say that Rohit Sharma’s spot was claimed by the actress. The netizen also mentioned that there were different rules for different players. Rohit liked the tweet and endorsed the fact. Don’t believe us? Check out the snapshot.
The BCCI also faced heat for posting the picture. The official body of cricket was trolled by the netizens for the caption, “#TeamIndia members at the High Commission of India in London.” Many netizens even said that she would be part of the playing XI against England at the Lord’s on August 9. The fans even went on to say that the BCCI should have named her separately and not under Team India.
Ahead of the second Test match, Virat addressed the press and said, “That as I team we are just that. It’s not that we are getting rolled over or dominated. Any test match you play is competitive and people overlook that fact very easily. But when the result comes out, they will realise that this team is very competitive.”
