Former cricketer Gautam Gambhir on Monday defended his reaction to a crowd that he said was making anti-India slogans during the India-Pakistan match at Kandy's Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. A video has surfaced on social media in which the former cricketer can be seen making objectionable while walking out of the stadium. Some claimed that the crowd was chanting 'Dhoni-Dhoni' and 'Kohili-Kohli'. However, Gautam Gambhir said that social media does not capture everything.
"What is shown on social media has no truth in it because people show whatever they want to show. The truth about the video that went viral is that if you raise anti-India slogans and speak about Kashmir then the person before you will obviously react and not smile and leave," he said while speaking to news agency ANI. 🏏 🇮🇳
