Indian cricketer Raturaj Gaikwad is under hot water after he was caught disrespecting a groundsman on the camera. The footage was leaked where he pulled aside the poor man with hands, who was asking for a selfie in the dugout.
The incident took place during the final and the fifth T20I match between India and South Africa that took place at M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru. After the video has gone viral, the fans are lashing at the unfair treatment from Gaikwad towards the groundsman.
The video was taken when the player was sitting in the dugout waiting for the rain to cease. Through his actions, it is visible that after the groundsman came close to him and tried taking a selfie, he pulled him away with his hands telling him to go.
Here is what fans have to say:
Unacceptable behaviour from Ruturaj Gaikwad yesterday! @BCCI @Ruutu1331
