In a bold statement, India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has said that the Indian cricket team should not play any matches against Pakistan unless peace is restored and justice is served.
Speaking on the issue, Gambhir said, There should be no cricket with Pakistan until peace is restored and justice is done. No cricket match or Bollywood or any other interaction is more important than the life of Indians.
Gambhir, who has been vocal on national issues in the past, reiterated his firm stance on prioritizing the lives and safety of Indian citizens over any sporting ties or cultural exchanges with Pakistan.
His statement has triggered a wave of reactions online, with many debating whether political tensions should dictate cricketing ties. The remark comes amid ongoing discussions about future bilateral cricket engagements between the two nations, particularly in the context of upcoming ICC events.
