ICC T20 World Cup 2022: All 16 captains in one frame - Indian captain made to sit on a water cooler

[Major]

Lets see if indian media picks up on this.

This is the picture they took today. Indian captain Not only placed in the corner with Zimbabwe Captain, but also sitting on a water cooler/ice box.

 

[Babeikh]

Bit harsh and disrespectful but i guess they were trying to create some arty type image.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Don't think anybody should be sitting there. Very unprofessional.

 

[IAJ]

Typical Pakistani/Indian reactions, this leader is sitting in the middle, that leader is placed in a corner etc.

You are missing the point. No cricketer. Not just the Indian captain. More than a respect issue it is a professionalism issue.

 

[Major]

Damn, richest board in the world, yet cant be offered a chair to sit on.

Credit to ICC event management team that they matched the cooler with rohit's jersey.

I hope the indian twitter brigade decides to do boycott of this.

I do not like the multicoloured and dark outfits of the modern age. Captains are also
sitting too far from each other. Classless. Just compare this to this simple pic of 1992.

Imran looks disinterested.

Afghan captain Nabi is made to stand. Rohit is made to sit on a cooler. Such injustice.

Actually standing would have been better lol There are some group photo standards. Standing is just fine. They could have asked him and someone else to stand on either side. Even at junior school level they take so much time to get everything perfect.

 

[sweep_shot]

I don't think it's a big deal. They ran out of space.

Should've used a bigger sofa or put a chair maybe.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

It seems 4 semi finalists are sitting in the middle.

 

[Ab Fan]

Bavuma will win the World Cup for his country

 

[Major]

There was space in the back row. Could had fitted 4 people on the back bench. Sharma could had sat with UAE captain.

Fun seeing richest board captain be disrespected

They're just trying to get catchy photo, nothing else.. lol at saying they ran out of space.. maybe he sit on to water cooler to match his captain cool tag

So your actual problem is he's richest board captain.. so much jellyness there..

Pretty hilarious comment. But I wonder if Kohli was there what would have happened

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Non issue

They are maintaining social distance. There is enough space there.

The 4 next to trophy semi finalists announced already??

 

[Mamoon]

Rohit is very laidback. He doesn’t care about such things.

He probably sat there randomly without worrying or caring about the arrangements.

A total non-issue though.

 

[asadee]

Rohit has Zero personality I miss Kohli as Captain

 

[MenInG]

Very odd thing to do - looks out of place and badly planned by ICC.

 

[Varun]

Fits our profile as a team - we will be knocked out of the first round.

Yes. Sports team photography is a profession. They get well paid.

It's image operation of BCCI. Indian cricketers are paid millions compared to the peanuts of other teams. He probably makes.more money than many teams in that picture. Combined.

Images like this show their supposed 'down to Earth's nature. Helps with the perception. The picture says, Rohit is not a 'diva'. He wont complain and demand another chair. He will adjust anywhere.

If it s a deliberate attempt to make him look "down to earth" guy, not a guy who owns a 5 million dollar house then they are mistaken lol Nobody will buy any of this "make believe" story.

 

[Madplayer]

Not a serious issue but unprofessional from organisers.

 

[Saj]

On a side note, Kane doesn't look too comfortable does he.

 

[Ab Fan]

I saw the video of Babar's cake cutting with all the captains attending it too. Everyone were pretty nice and chilled out enjoying their time.

 

[Kriketer]

Not an issue but a bit unprofessional for captain's pic before a major tournament

 

[Zaz]

I dont see what the issue is Its supposed to be an artsy pic

Someone had to sit there Why not the indian captain?

 

[Slim]

This thread screams insecure mentality. If not Rohit, someone else had to sit there. Whats the big deal?

 

[PakLFC]

Here come the conspiracy theories. Indian so called news channels will be doing a ten hour programme on this.

 

[IAJ]

You are missing the point. No cricketer. Not just the Indian captain. More than a respect issue it is a professionalism issue.

Lol, I am not missing any point here, I know completely what this is about;

Rohit is captain of the one of the best teams in World, he is actually representing India which generates the most revenues, so he should have been sitting in the middle right?

But it doesn’t seem like he is bothered so no need to make this an ego-issue.

They need some fodder to fill the 24 hour programming slot.

Owning a 5 million dollar house and making 30 million in a year doesn't mean he should act like a diva. On all accounts it was a fun event with all the captains joiking around. So before you get upset over a non event, let's consider that non divas don't care about where they sit.

 

[PakLFC]

All the same they made the captain of the most powerful board sit on a cooler! Or is it a bin???))) Meanwhile, Babar sitting comfortably and respectfully in the middle with his leg up

 

[Colorblind Genius]

May be they were playing nelaam ghar, and he won the water cooler.
