BJP LAMBASTES Cong Spokesperson Over Controversial Remark on Rohit Sharma And For Siding up With Pakistan

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Rohit Sharma has been leading the Indian cricket team really well and that has ensured is results as well. India has won three out-of-three to make it to the semi-final. India remain the only undefeated side in the ongoing marquee ICC event. But, while the world is praising the Indian captain, somebody from inside the country is trying to spew venom here. 

Congress spokesperson Dr Shama Mohamed criticised Indian captain Rohit, calling him “overweight" and “the most unimpressive captain India has ever had". Her remarks have obviously sparked a controversy as she is now facing the heat from all quarters. Responding to the Congress spokesperson, her BJP counterpart Shehzad Poonawalla claimed that those who once opposed the country are now targeting the Indian cricket team.

‘Those who have lost 90 elections’

"Those who have lost 90 elections under the captaincy of Rahul Gandhi are calling the captaincy of Rohit Sharma unimpressive!" said Poonawalla. He added, “I guess 6 ducks in Delhi and 90 election losses is impressive but winning the T20 World Cup isn’t! Rohit has a brilliant track record as captain by the way!"

“While opposing India, its institutions, and its armed forces – while repeatedly saying they are against the Indian state – Congress has now turned against the Indian team as well," said Poonawalla.

Not just that, the Congress minister also retweeted a post of a Pakistan journalist. The action has also not gone down well with the Indians, who feel that should not have been done.

The Indian team, given their form, can surely do that. It would be interesting to see if changes are made to the playing XI from the game against New Zealand. Will India persist with Chakravarthy after his heroics versus NZ?
