Another controversy has stirred up after Indian cricketer, M.S. Dhoni, wore wicket-keeping gloves which sported ‘Balidaan Badge’ on it during the ICC World Cup 2019 match, held last Wednesday. Soon after, the International Cricket Council (ICC) objected and asked the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to remove the insignia from the glove. Now, several celebrities have stood up and Twitterati have started trending the hashtag #DhoniKeepTheGlove.
Celebrities including Riteish Deshmukh, Rahul Dev, S.Sreesanth have opposed ICC ‘s decision and are supporting Dhoni. Here’s what they wrote:
Riteish Deshmukh: Indian Army has always been independent irrespective of the political party in power. We are proud of them. Lt. Col. @msdhoni has worn the Army insignia as a symbol of pride. Doesn’t hurt anyone’s sentiments, In fact it honours the brave #DhoniKeepTheGlove #WorldCup2019
