    This cricketer Gautam Gambhir has lost his respect after joining politics and lost his credibility what he has gained.
    His bad taste trolling in social media like Virender Sehwag will make them history despite their good show for the nation.
    In today's India, there is a more indispensable amount of young cricketer emerging who are better than him and most promising.
    He should at least learn the experience of Cricketer like Kirti Azad who has served BJP for long-term and now being sidelined for exposing the corruption of Union Minister Jaitley in Delhi Cricket Board.
    The game should be treated as the game. Mixing politics with the game is a disaster.

    Sir, I think you have not understood the last line I wrote. I am neither admirer of Cricketer Azharuddin nor Gambhir.
    My point is his bad taste of language since he has joined BJP for politics.
    Dangerous path Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Virat Kohli has chosen to tread on will never accord him greatness enjoyed by likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar.
    The Game should be viewed on talent, not by caste, creed or religion.
    Gautam Gambhir should have chosen NGO serving India rather than trolling inciting religion.

    Some people are born haters like Nash,Mangalore. They never feel comfortable to listen a word against wrong dowers whom they love most nor they hesitate to spew venom against particular community for anything they encounter. Identity matters them.
