After a thundering battle against Pakistan in the opening campaign on October 23, Sunday in Melbourne, the Indian team headed to Sydney to take on Netherlands on Thursday. However, reports emerged right after the team landed in Sydney that the players were not served hot food for the after-practice meals.

Virender Sehwag, who was angered by the same, took to Twitter to condemn the hospitality and said that the western nations need to come up with better facilities. Further, Sehwag said that the olden days are gone when those countries would come up with better hospitality. 

“Gone are the days when one used to think that the Western countries offer so good hospitality. India are way ahead of most western countries when it comes to providing hospitality of the highest standards,” Sehwag tweeted. 

Dear Sehwag, check Geography once

This tweet from the former Indian opener received a lot of support and many seconded his opinion saying that Australians need to be taught a lesson. However, a few fans pointed out that Australia is in the east and not in the west. The fans left no stone unturned to troll the batter in the midst of those who supported him for his tweet. However, a few others hit back saying that it was an unintentional error and the context of the tweet was more important. 

As it stands, the Men in Blue will look to seal a dominant win against Netherlands and up their Net Run Rate (NRR) as well. South Africa, who triumphed against Bangladesh early on Thursday, made it to the top with 3 points with their NRR reaching 5.200. It will be important for team India to defeat Netherlands by a huge margin just to ensure that they top with NRR as well. 

The Indian skipper said during the toss against Netherlands that the team would keep improving irrespective of the results and added that the team would keep ticking the boxes going ahead into the tournament.

“We have to calm ourselves and look forward to this game. We want to keep improving no matter what the results are, it always keeps you in good stead when you are thinking like that. It is important for us to keep ticking those boxes,” Rohit said in the toss before the start of the match. 

As it stands, let us take a look at a few Twitter reactions on Sehwag’s views on hospitality for the Indian cricket team:
