Controversy Erupts as Mitchell Marsh Keeps feet on World Cup Trophy, celebs slam him

Australian cricketer Mitchell Marsh has courted controversy by posing with the World Cup trophy while keeping feet on it. The photograph was shared by Australian captain Pat Cummins on his Instagram handle hours after they lifted the World Cup Trophy by defeating India at Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad. It seems to be taken inside the dressing room, where Marsh had both the legs on top of the trophy while flaunting his gold medal. The picture went viral in no time after cricket fans began slamming the cricketer for being disrespectful towards the trophy. Now, Priyanka Chopra's sister Meera Chopra who made her Bollywood debut with late Satish Kaushik's film 'Gangs Of Ghosts' took to her X handle and tweeted Marsh's picture with a note that read, 'Don’t disrespect what got you respect!'. Actress Kishwer Merchant took to her Instagram story and slammed Marsh for his behaviour with a note saying, 'Wow that's how much you respect your profession, the game and your fans? Australia no one can unsee this, pretty clear that you guys did not deserve it, you just had a better day than us'. Rashami Desai also expressed her unhappiness through a social media post. She also shared the same picture and penned a note saying, 'In your country may be people like it. But in ours we worship our celebration. And after seeing this photo, I feel 'Haar kar jeetne wale ko baazigar kehte hain' #proutobeindian'. For more news and updates, stay tuned to ETimes.
