Opposition Backs Kirti Azad Over Trophy Temple Visit Row, Calls For Respecting All Sentiments
BJP MP Gautam Gambhir: Several Opposition leaders on Tuesday expressed support for Trinamool Congress MP and former cricketer Kirti Azad after his social media post questioning the decision to take the T20 World Cup trophy to a temple. Opposition leaders said Azad had raised an important concern and stressed that it was essential to ensure that the sentiments of people from all faiths are respected. The controversy erupted after Azad, who was a member of Indias 1983 World Cup-winning team, criticised the act of taking the trophy to a temple by cricketer Suryakumar Yadav, head coach and former BJP MP Gautam Gambhir, and International Cricket Council (ICC) chairman Jay Shah. In a post on social media platform X, Azad wrote, As Why NOT a Mosque? Why NOT a Church? Why NOT a Gurudwara? The Trophy Belongs to 1.4 BILLION Indians of EVERY Faith NOT ONE RELIGION'S VICTORY LAP!. He further criticised the move, saying it was unfortunate that one religion appeared to be given precedence. Referring to Indias historic 1983 World Cup triumph under Kapil Dev, Azad wrote that the team represented people from different faiths. When we won the World Cup under Kapil Dev in 1983, we had Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Christian in the team. We brought the trophy to our religious birthplace our motherland India, Bharat, Hindustan, he wrote. Azad also added, This Team Represents INDIA not Surya Kumar Yadav's or Jay Shah's Family. Mentioning players from different religious backgrounds, he further wrote: (Mohammad) Siraj never paraded it at a Mosque. Sanju (Samson) never took it to a Church... latter had a major part to play and was man of the tournament. Reacting to the controversy, Congress MP Sukhdeo Bhagat defended Azad and said his concerns should be taken seriously. Kirti Azad has been a part of our team when we won the World Cup. He is our respected Member of Parliament and he has raised these concerns. Sports should always be played in the spirit of the game, and when the country wins, it is India that wins. It is not the victory of any particular community, group, or individual. That is why I said that the issues he has highlighted are indeed matters of concern. Since the government of the Bharatiya Janata Party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power, such incidents have increased. There seems to be an attempt to divide society, where people are being pushed to come forward with separate identities, he told IANS. Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) MP, Mahua Maji also emphasised the need to be sensitive towards peoples religious sentiments. In our country you can see that politics over religion happens during elections and even in sports. I believe that when people of all castes and religions are involved in sports, whether they are players or spectators, it is very important to ensure that no ones sentiments are hurt, because these are matters at the national level. In our country, people visit temples, mosques, churches, and gurdwaras, so we should avoid such issues... Congress MLA and former national hockey team captain Pargat Singh said sports should remain free from religious divisions. There is no need to differentiate in sports, for us every religion is same. I don't have much background on this, it should be taken to temple, masjids, gurdwaras, churches everywhere. It is better if we keep religion and sports separate. Congress MLA and former national hockey team captain Pargat Singh said sports should remain free from religious divisions. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Kirti Azad may have his own stand, as he has been a great cricketer and an MP. I think we should not bring politics into sports. Our players have done exceptionally well - we have become T20 world champions for the third time. They should be congratulated for this. If they want to take the trophy to a temple or a mosque, it is their personal decision. The cricket control Board can do nothing about it. Article Source: IANS

T20 WC: Emotional Ishan Kishan Dedicates Trophy Triumph To Late Cousin Sister
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: India wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan has dedicated his sides 2026 ICC Mens T20 World Cup victory to his late cousin sister, revealing that she and his brother-in-law died in a car accident a day before the final took place at the Narendra Modi Stadium. In the final, Kishan hit 54 and was one of the architects in India getting a 96-run win over New Zealand to clinch their third T20 World Cup title. To be honest, before the game, I lost my cousin sister in a car accident. I played well for her. I spoke to Hardik Bhai; he said to put the team ahead. I dedicate this win to her, and this was on Womens Day, so it makes it all the more special, Kishan told reporters in the mixed zone interaction. Kishan had battled his way back into the national side after being out of the team for nearly two years and now saw himself finishing as Indias second-highest run-scorer in the tournament behind Sanju Samson. While reflecting on his journey back into the team, Kishan cited Virat Kohlis example as a guiding principle for himself. In these two years, the biggest thing I learned was to just keep doing your job; dont think about the results. The skills dont change much. If I scored a 200 before, the skills were there then and they are there now. But what matters is your approach. How much hunger do you have? If you remove the fear of failure and doubt, you only focus on staying in the present. In these two years I have learned one thing: I have stopped overthinking. I dont even think about where my name will come up, whether it will come up or not. I think its not in my hands, and if I think about these things and then look at the team and see my name isnt there, it will just hurt me. So in a way, I take a step back. Like I said, I like Virat bhai a lot, seeing how he has put his energy into the game for so many years. That work was the most important thing for me to understand what can I change within myself? Because the ability is there, he elaborated. Kishan also recalled the moment captain Suryakumar Yadav reached out before the T20 World Cup squad was announced. When Surya bhai called, I took a screenshot and thought it was for the World Cup. He called and asked, WC jeetwayega kya (Will you make us win the World Cup?. I asked, Aap bharosa karoge kya (Will you show trust in me)? and then said, Karoonga (I will do it(. He said chal kiya (okay, done). Kishans redemption arc from being out of the national setup in 2023 to leading Jharkhand to a Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy win in 2025 and forcing his way back into the national side in blistering form culminated in him playing all matches in the showpiece event and lifting the trophy. Kishan also recalled the moment captain Suryakumar Yadav reached out before the T20 World Cup squad was announced. When Surya bhai called, I took a screenshot and thought it was for the World Cup. He called and asked, WC jeetwayega kya (Will you make us win the World Cup?. I asked, Aap bharosa karoge kya (Will you show trust in me)? and then said, Karoonga (I will do it(. He said chal kiya (okay, done). Also Read: Live Cricket Score We know how to take care of ourselves, as we know the reality, the ability we have and how we can change things. But at the same time, the ones who get troubled are the family members. So for their happiness, perhaps we work harder so that we can try to make it back into the team as soon as possible.
