In New Delhi, Pakistani cricket team's wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan's decision to dedicate his Man of the Match award in the World Cup 2023 against Sri Lanka to the people of Gaza led to backlash from Indian journalist Vikrant Gupta.

He questioned whether the International Cricket Council (ICC) permits such actions. This incident raises concerns about players making political and religious statements during ICC events.

It's worth noting that Indian media has previously raised questions about Pakistani players, including Mohammad Rizwan, for their on-field displays of religious devotion, such as offering prayers.

In India, there is a divide with some supporting Israel's actions against Palestine, while others, including certain Indian actors, express solidarity with Palestinians.
