Shama reacted to the reaction with a combination of challenge and justification. Far from offering an apology, he doubled, claiming his right to criticize Rohit comparing him with past captains such as Ms womanSourav Gangulyand Shot kohli—All celebrated by its physical form and its leadership.
“It was just a generic tweet about the physical form of an athlete. It’s not the body. I always think that an athlete has to be in shape. So I felt that he has a little overweight and I only tweeted that.” Shama said while talking to Ani.
He considered his comment to be reasonable and that outrage is an excessive reaction, positioning it -as a victim of unjustified critics instead of an author of the trembling body or unfair judgment.
“I have been attacked for no reason. When I compared it to previous captains, I made a statement. I have the right. What happens to say?” added Shama.
