The Pakistan Cricket Board had filed a complaint against Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav regarding two issues. First, his comments, which PCB described as politics inspired by politics. Apart from this, PCB lodged a complaint against Suryakumar Yadav due to not handing handsheakes with Pakistani players.
PCB’s complaint does not power ….
Let us know that the victory against Pakistan in the group match was dedicated by Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav to the victims of Pahalgam attack and the Indian Army. This was a statement given keeping in mind the emotions and the PCB deliberately spread confusion about it. On the other hand, it is not written anywhere in the ICC rule book that it is mandatory to handhek. In such a situation, Suryakumar Yadav is hardly punished.
On the other hand, the BCCI had said in the complaint that Sahibzada Farhan and Haris Rauf had given gestures and disputed behavior against India in the Super-4 match. Haris Rauf made a gesture like dropping the aircraft and abused Indian players Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill. At the same time, Sahibzada Farhan did ‘gun celebration’ after completing the half -century.
Like Suryakumar Yadav, Sahibzada Farhan and Haris Rauf have also denied the allegations, so both will appear before the referee. Farhan caught the bat like a machine gun and celebrated. Farhan had said, ‘That celebration suddenly came to mind at that time. I generally do not celebrate much. I thought I should do something different. Now how people will take it, I don’t mind.
If the allegations against Sahibzada Farhan and Haris Rauf are proved to be true, then both of them can get severe punishment because players on the field cannot make a hint contrary to the sportsmanship.
