Shame on Team India! Why did the 1983 world champion player lash out at the world champion team? What is the whole matter after all?

ICC T20 World Cup: It has been less than 24 hours since India won the T20 World Cup and the controversy has started. India won the title by defeating New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The team captained by Suryakumar Yadav created history by achieving this success.

All the players were engrossed in the celebration of victory. In this connection, in the morning after the match, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav along with ICC President Jay Shah and head coach Gautam Gambhir went to worship at Hanuman Temple in Ahmedabad. Captain Suryakumar Yadav went to the temple with the trophy and worshiped.

1983 WC winner raised questions

Former Indian cricketer and TMC Lok Sabha MP Kirti Azad has expressed displeasure over the Indian captain, coach and ICC president going to the temple with the trophy and worshiping Lord Hanuman. Azad, who was a part of the 1983 World Cup winning team, has raised serious questions on captain Suryakumar Yadav and ICC chief Jai Shah and called it against Indianness.

Did Kirti Azad say anything?

Social media platform ‘X’ But giving his reaction he wrote, ‘Team India should be ashamed.’ When we won the World Cup in 1983 under the captaincy of Kapil Dev, there were Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Christian players in our team. We brought the trophy to our religious birthplace, our motherland, India.”

SHAME ON TEAM INDIA! 😡

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 birth place our motherland India Bharat Hindustan

Why The Hell Is The Indian Cricket Trophy is being Dragged.…

— Kirti Azad (@KirtiAzaad) March 9, 2026

Kirti Azad further asked, ‘Why is the Indian Cricket Trophy being dragged? Why not in the mosque? Why not in church? Why not in Gurudwara?” Referring to Sanju’s brilliant performance, he asked, ‘Why couldn’t Sanju take the Samson or Siraj trophy to the mosque or church? Why is this trophy being dragged just to the door of the temple?”

He finally wrote that this team represents India, not the family of Suryakumar Yadav or Jai Shah. Siraj never took the trophy to the mosque. Sanju never took it to church. Sanju played an important role in the tournament and was chosen Man of the Tournament. This trophy belongs to 1.4 billion Indians of every religion, it is not a place to celebrate the victory of any one religion.
