IND vs NZ: Exciting cricket was seen on the field during the first ODI match played between India and New Zealand in Vadodara. A comment from the commentary box sparked a huge debate on social media. What former Team India coach and commentator Sanjay Bangar said regarding the language became a cause of controversy. This whole matter started during New Zealand’s innings.
How did the matter begin?
This incident happened in the 13th over of New Zealand’s innings. Washington Sundar was bowling beautifully for India. Wicketkeeper KL Rahul did not seem completely satisfied with the speed of Sundar’s balls. After this Rahul said something to Sundar. At the same time, former Indian fast bowler Varun Aaron was present in the commentary box along with Sanjay Bangar.
Varun Aron told during the commentary that KL Rahul and Washington Sundar were talking among themselves in Tamil language. According to Aron, Rahul told Sundar that the speed of his ball seemed like that of a medium pacer. This conversation was going on in a light-hearted manner.
Controversy increased due to Sanjay Bangar’s comment
After this, Varun Aron said in a joking tone that maybe KL Rahul will have to talk to Sundar in Tamil only, because Sundar understands Tamil better. On Rahul’s request, Sundar immediately increased the speed to 92.
When Aron wanted to know Bangar’s opinion on this, Sanjay Bangar said that he believes more in “national language”. This statement became the cause of controversy as soon as it appeared on social media.
There was an uproar on social media
After Sanjay Bangar’s statement, sharp reactions were seen from fans on social media. Many users said that there is no national language in India and all languages should be given equal respect. At the same time, some people also supported Bangar, calling it his personal opinion. Within no time this issue shifted from cricket to a debate on language and identity.
India’s great victory in the match
Apart from the controversies, if we talk about the match, Team India registered a spectacular victory. Batting first, New Zealand had put 300 runs on the board. In reply, India made a strong start and won the match by losing 6 wickets in the 49th over. For India, Virat Kohli laid the foundation of victory by playing a brilliant inning of 93 runs.
