Following India’s second defeat in the ongoing T20 World Cup, former England captain Kevin Pietersen has appealed to people to come forward and support their cricketers.
“There is a winner and a loser in the game. No player goes out to lose. It is the greatest honour to represent your country. Please realize that the people in the game are not robots and they need support at all times,” tweeted Pietersen in Hindi.
Earlier, former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir said that it was shameful to see how the Indian cricket team was being trolled after the loss against New Zealand.
“I still believe India is the best team it’s just a matter of having a good time or bad time but abusing players and their family is such a shame don’t forget the end of the day it’s just a game of cricket,” Amir tweeted.
India’s legendary spinner Harbhajan Singh also urged fans not to get harsh on the players.
“Let’s not be harsh on our players. Yes, we know them for better cricket. Sabse jyada players ko hurt hota hai after such results. but well done to @BLACKCAPS NZ for winning the match. they were fantastic in all departments,” tweeted Harbhajan.
India will next take on Afghanistan on November 3.
