1983 World Cup winning cricket team came in support of wrestlers, said – do not shed hard earned medals

The Indian cricket team, which won the World Cup for the first time in 1983, has now supported the wrestlers. In the year 1983, the team which raised India’s prestige around the world, has tried to cheer them by coming along with the wrestlers. Former cricketers have given special advice to the protesters demanding action against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

Meanwhile, the 1983 Cricket World Cup winning team has issued a statement in favor of the wrestlers. In this regard, the team said that the wrestlers have brought laurels to the country. Wrestlers should take any decision after thinking carefully. Giving suggestions to the wrestlers, the former cricket legends said that the way wrestlers are being treated is disturbing.

Tell that Vengsrekar, Madan Lal, Kapil Dev, former veteran batsman Sunil Gavaskar have jointly issued a statement in support of the wrestlers. The team said in a joint statement that we are distressed and disturbed by the indecent scenes of misbehavior with our champion wrestlers. We are also worried about the fact that they are thinking of throwing their hard earned medals in the river Ganga. Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia went to Haridwar on May 30 to demand the arrest of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, the outgoing President of the Wrestling Federation of India, on charges of alleged sexual harassment, but did not immerse the medals in the Ganges.

Former cricketers say those medals have taken years of effort, sacrifice, determination and grit and are not only their own but the country’s pride and joy. We urge them not to take any hasty decision in this matter and also hope that their grievances will be heard and resolved at the earliest.

In this regard, Madan Lal, who was a member of the 1983 winning team, said that the performance of the wrestlers is shocking. He decided to throw away his medals. He is not only his pride but the pride of the country. We are not in favor of his decision to throw the medal as it is not easy to earn a medal. We urge the government to resolve this issue at the earliest. Let us tell you that Sunil Gavaskar, Mohinder Amarnath, K Srikkanth, Syed Kirmani, Yashpal Sharma, Madan Lal, Balwinder Singh Sandhu, Sandeep Patil, Kirti Azad, Roger Binny and Ravi Shastri were also in the team that won the World Cup 1983 under the captaincy of Kapil Dev. .
