News India Live, Digital Desk: Cricket has always been called a ‘gentleman’s game’. Winning and losing, sledging and clash of eyes are part of the match, but when it comes to respect of a player, the real player is the one who calls wrong from wrong. Recently, what happened with Babar Azam and the reaction given by Australian players on it has won the hearts of cricket lovers.
What happened after all?
We all know that Pakistan’s star batsman Babar Azam is not in his best form at the moment. Recently, during a T-20 match, when Babar was fielding near the boundary, a group of fans started teasing him. Some people were trolling him by calling him “Zimbabar”. This was not good for anyone to see.
But, the real news was that the Australian giants standing nearby Steve Smith Didn’t like all this at all. He expressed his displeasure by shaking his head and gestured to the fans that ‘this is not right.’
Now Stark took charge
Now Australia’s stormy bowlers on this whole matter Mitchell Starc Has broken his silence. Starc has fully supported that reaction of Steve Smith. Starc says that Smith is a great person and he knows the dignity of the game.
Starc made it clear in his talks that even if we are in the opposition team, misbehavior or unnecessary trolling with any player cannot be tolerated. He justified Smith’s move by saying that this is what makes Steve a leader.
Lesson for trolls
This behavior of Mitchell Starc and Steve Smith is a strong message to those fans who buy tickets and go to the stadium just to humiliate the players. Babar Azam may have been the captain of the opposing team, but even the Australian players respect his class.
To be honest, the real fun of cricket is when the fight is with ball and bat, not with words and rudeness. Starc and Smith showed that they are not only good players but also great people. It is for this sporting spirit that we watch cricket, isn’t it?
