Paralympic gold medallist Devendra Jhajharia criticised TMC MP and former cricketer Kirti Azad for targeting Suryakumar Yadav, Gautam Gambhir and Jay Shah over taking the T20 World Cup trophy to a Hanuman temple. Jhajharia said Azad "should be ashamed of himself", adding, "When we used to win medals, we also went to the temple. What is wrong with that?"
