Highlights
- The event ‘Namaste Trump’ was organised by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to welcome US President to India
- Sardar Patel Stadium beat Melbourne Cricket Ground to become world’s biggest cricket stadium
The US President was giving a speech at the Sardar Patel stadium in Ahmedabad on his first official visit to India on Monday when he made a huge gaffe by mispronouncing the legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar as ‘Soo-chin’ and Indian skipper, Virat Kohli as ‘Vi-rot’.
The huge crowd at the Sardar Patel Stadium in Ahmedabad applauded him but the online world was not so kind on the President who failed to pronounce the biggest names in the world of cricket at the world's largest cricket stadium.
Listen to what US President Trump said:
“This is the country where your people cheer on some of the world’s greatest cricket players, from Sachin Tendulkar to Virat Kohli,” President Trump said.
The online world couldn’t help but react to such a gaffe.
None other than the governing body of cricket trolled the US President.
"Sach-, Such-, Satch-, Sutch-, Sooch-, Anyone know?" it posted with an accompanying GIF.
Other cricketers too joined in.
