Sharapova targeted for 'snubbing' Tendulkar
By AFP
NEW DELHI: Outraged Indian cricket fans have left thousands of angry messages on Maria Sharapova's Facebook page after she admitted to not recognising cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar.

Tendulkar, considered a demi-god in his home country and an all-time great of the game by most fans, was among a star-studded crowd that watched Sharapova at Wimbledon last Saturday.

When asked if she recognised the recently retired batsman, seated next to former English cricket captain Andrew Strauss and football star David Beckham, she reportedly replied that she did not.

“I was one of the biggest fans of you as a tennis star but now I will never see your matches,” wrote Vivek Kumar Pandey in one of the milder messages on the Russian tennis player's Facebook page.

Others used foul language and made threats, while Twitter users took up the tongue-in-cheek #whoismariasharapova hashtag which began trending.

For some, the hurt pride was misplaced.

“Why splutter over Sharapova not knowing Sachin?” leading TV presenter Barkha Dutt wrote on Twitter on Friday.

“Does it matter? Doesn't diminish him. But makes us sound insecure.”

We Indians should STOP acting CHILDISH & EMOTIONAL every time.

Tendulkar din't react, so why should you WASTE your time in something which is completely IRRELEVANT where our country is faced with many difficulties.

Reread the previous post. Kya hua, bhook ke maare angrezi bhool gaye?

Yeah I read the post. You are that guy who reads pakistani comments of FB and then uses them years later.

Again an idiotic statement of judging that only hundred-thousand are sane from bln+ population. God knows how..



I am not talking about them. I am talking about you generalizing a bln+ population based on a few hundreds and furthermore teaching others not to judge/generalize.

It is not about generalizing. More than 90% of Indians I have seen on internet are of this type. including the bharatis on this forum. Either those "sane" Indians don't use internet or mostly moronic bharatis have access to internet. Whatever the case is I find the worst kind of lunatics from our neighbors on internet.

Well then you have indeed proved that you indeed are an Hypocrite irrespective of who have done what. Cause in anyway that doesn't prove of you being hypocrite is wrong.

Whatever. I don't need a certificate of neutrality and being unbiased from you.

So you are saying you can't even pronounce word, "Sachin"?

For you guys Sachin maybe an everyday name for me that is a place's name and no I didnt even know how he looked like till all this crap about attacking the poor Russian lady! Na koi hayaa na kuch aywin chal paray coz she doesnt know 1 guy in the world?

Why should he, he didn't say them to do so.

That is what I meant...and typed

Go through some comments on Maria's FB account you'll find many Indians talking against those fans. Anyways after so much it still doesn't justify you mocking Sachin who has nothing to do with this.

And now the same is gonna be applied on me? That is amazing mentality! Awesome!!! No one says anything when Indians pronounce soo many things wrong but god forbid you pronounce Sachin wrongly!

Thank You pauwa-kistani

As an Indian, i feel so ashamed that we have such ignorant and mindless fans in our country.

Could we be so easily hurt? I realized how insecure a fraction of our population is be seeing the reaction from such fans.

Please go to FB and see the nonsense our Indian people are writing on her page.

Bhagwan Kripa Kare.

Again? Dude do you even know 90% Indians on internet, let alone knowing even talked to them?

Either those "sane" Indians don't use internet or mostly moronic bharatis have access to internet.

Same is the case in your country. No country has 100% sane people.

Whatever the case is I find the worst kind of lunatics from our neighbors on internet.

It is because you don't agree with them. Just because you don't agree with anyone's opinion doesn't mean they are lunatics or worst. And if this is the case then you are the same for me, as i don't agree with you.

Khabar Daar jo kisi ne Sharapova ko kuch kaha

Good you took good care

lol . from the FB page

Estella McKinleySomeone told me if you want to see stupid indians, come to Marias page. Its worse then I expected. What is wrong with you guys? . Am australian and I never even bothered about cricket. Maybe heard of sachin somewhere, so what? Am a rugby fan.. Why so hue and cry about such stupid things. Its disappointing that athletes like Sachin and Maria have to deal with such stupid fan. Half the people in australia dont know Sachin. You people are making a fool of yourself allover now

Don't give your facebook page to Indian

I didn't knew. Honestly I didn't even knew she's a tennis player..

But now after facebook incidents she knows Indians very well and of course 10dulkar
