Arnab Goswami insults Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar

Arnab Goswami insults Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar: The popular journalist spoke against the two cricketing legends.

Eminent journalist Arnab Goswami was recently at odds with two of the biggest names in cricket in Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar. Goswami expressed differences with the legendary figures over their stance on playing against Pakistan in the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

Contrary to the majority, the two former batsmen from Mumbai had opined that India should play the match against Pakistan. While Tendulkar had taken to social media platform Twitter to express his views, Gavaskar opened up on the topic in an interview with India Today.

“India has always come up trumps against Pakistan in the World Cup. Time to beat them once again. Would personally hate to give them two points and help them in the tournament.

“Having said that, for me India always comes first, so whatever my country decides, I will back that decision with all my heart,” Tendulkar’s tweet read.

“I don’t believe in any Gods”

Both Tendulkar and Gavaskar’s comments didn’t go down well with the journalist who believed that Tendulkar should have been the first cricketer to speak regarding playing against Pakistan.

“I don’t believe in any Gods. Sachin Tendulkar is 100 percent wrong. Sachin Tendulkar, if he has any sense, he should realise that he should be the first person to say that don’t play with Pakistan.

“[Sunil] Gavaskar should be the second person to say that don’t play with Pakistan. These people say that we need two points. Both are damn wrong. We don’t need two points. I want revenge for my martyrs. Sachin Tendulkar can take his two points and put it in the dustbin,” Goswami was quoted as saying during a debate on Republic TV.
