While the Indian team has been struggling through a tough period, fans are asked to stand by the side instead of mocking them for the defeats.
Team India’s performance has been disastrous in the Asia Cup Super 4 round. First, they endured a disappointing 5-wicket defeat against Pakistan on Sunday. Then the lower-order collapse against Sri Lanka on Tuesday all but concluded the Asia Cup journey of the defending champions. Still, young pacer Arshdeep Singh has been bearing the brunt from the Indian fans for his dropped catch on Sunday’s mega match. After Tuesday’s game, when Singh was boarding the team bus, an unidentified man threw some derogatory remarks to the 23-year-old. However, the incident caught the attention of sports journalist Vimal Kumar who was also present there. Kumar went on to slam the man for abusing an Indian cricketer like that.
The entire incident was recorded and has widely surfaced on the internet. While the team has been going through a tough period, fans are asked to stand by the side instead of mocking them for the defeats. Amid the scenario, this kind of behaviour seemed unacceptable to a large part of cricket enthusiasts across the country.
Similar circumstances occurred on Tuesday when Arshdeep was required to defend 7 runs off the last over against Sri Lanka but was unable to take India home. He nearly brought the match to the very last ball before the Islanders kept their composure to earn their second victory of the Asia Cup Super Four. India will play their last Super Four match on Thursday at the Dubai International Stadium against Afghanistan.
