Will Arnab held his wife responsible for #shameontimesnow trend on Twitter?

India lost the high voltage semifinal of ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 against Australia and one section of media has found the culprit of the match and that culprit is none other than bollywood actress Anushka Sharma. Yes, you have heard it right. Home advantage, toss advantage and middle order collapse didn't script India's defeat but Anushka should take the sole responsibility of India's loss because she was one of the thirty thousands Indian fan supporting his team in Sydney.

How can the presence of someone distract the player like Virat Kohli? According to media, not the Mitchell Johnson's pacy short pitched delivery, but it was Anushka's smile which got rid of Kohli and damaged India's chances to reach the final of ongoing World Cup. Well, I would like to ask Mr. Arnab that #shameontimesnow is trending top on twitter, will he now held his wife responsible for all the flak which times now is receiving on twitter since yesterday? If not then he must apologise to Anushka, Team India and millions of cricket fans for hurting their sentiments.

Times now is the same channel which made every possible attempt to affect the morale of Indian cricket team just before the Champions Trophy 2013 by dragging Dhoni in match fixing controversy. But, Dhoni & Co. gave Arnab a solid reply by winning a mini World Cup in England. Times now editor-in-chief believes that making noise and selling sensationalism is the only way to get TRP. He forgot the ethics of journalism long way back. I don't know that Arnab belongs to which school of journalism. But the basic rule of journalism is to report a news without becoming a party to anyone. Unfortunately, he conduct biased news hour debates frequently as there is hardly any space on times now for neutral journalism.

Despite being Kohli's girlfriend, Anushka has every right to cheer his team in the stadium and no one should have any objection on it. You can't blaze your guns on this bollywood actress just because Kohli was dismissed cheaply and eventually India lost the match. Indian media and fans should be brave enough to admit that we lost to a better team which is ranked number one in ICC ODI rankings. But, people who never held a bat in their life are giving lectures to the team which won seven matches in a row and overall 16 consecutive matches in ICC tournaments since 2011 World Cup.

When Kohli hit four centuries in recent Test series against Australia, Anushka was there in Australia to cheer Kohli and his team. Wasn't the same media was labeling Anuhka a lucky charm then? If Kohli score runs in Anushka's presence then she becomes lady luck but if Kohli dismissed early in his innings then presence of bollywood actress distract Delhi dasher. Indian fans deserves much logical and sensible cricket coverage from media but channels like times now prefers noise over news.

I have played Multiple games Multiple times Lost some Won some U brought disgrace to a team for the sake of sensationalism!

Eleven men play a game and lose. The blame goes to a woman watching the game. So much for the gentleman's game.  

When India won sent Jr players in press con & when team lost he went there to face media...That's LEADERSHIP
