The Indian captain, while targeting the critics of Syria, said that the entire team is completely behind the fast bowler.
Indian captain Virat Kohli has backed Muhammad Shami, a victim of social media trolling after his defeat to Pakistan, saying he supports the team’s only Muslim player “200 percent”.
Speaking at a press conference today ahead of the crucial match against New Zealand on Sunday, according to the Indian Express, Kohli said that a group of people on social media, who do not really dare to speak to anyone in person. And hide their identities, follow people through social media, make fun of them and all this has become a social pastime in today’s world which is unfortunate and very sad to watch. He added: lt may be the most degrading act of any human being and that is how I view them.
After a 10-wicket defeat to arch-rivals Pakistan in the first round of the World Twenty20, some on social media ridiculed Indian bowler Mohammad Shami on the basis of his religion and even called him a traitor.
Kohli added: In my opinion, attacking someone’s religion is the most unfortunate act of man. Everyone has the right to express their opinion on a particular situation, but I personally would never think of discriminating against anyone on the basis of religion. This (religion) is a very sacred and personal matter for every human being
The Indian captain, while targeting the critics of Syria, said that the entire team is completely behind the fast bowler.
People have no idea of the fact that Mohammad Shami has led India to victory in a number of matches in the last few years and he is our key bowler with Jaspreet Bhamra to turn the tide of any match he said. have been
Ignoring this sentiment, I would honestly say that I do not want to waste a single minute of my life focusing on such people, nor would the Syrians or anyone else on the team.
According to the Indian captain, we fully stand by him. We support 200% of the Syrians and all those who have attacked them can come back with more power if they want but they cannot shake our brotherhood and our friendship within the team.
