Dhawan Lashes Out At Pakistani Cricketers For Intervening in India's Internal Affairs

“If someone says something about our country, of course, we will say stand up. We don’t need outsiders to advice us. First fix your own country and then speak about others", said Dhawan

India's seasoned opener Shikhar Dhawan lashed out at Pakistani cricketers  for trying to interfere in India's internal affairs. The left-hander voiced his opinion while speaking to India TV on their popular show ‘Aap Ki Adalat’, and was of the opinion that the sub continents nations should set their house in order first before commenting on others.

“If someone says something about our country, of course, we will say stand up. We don’t need outsiders to advice us. First fix your own country and then speak about others. There is a saying ‘Jinke ghar kach ka hoh, woh dusro k ghar pathar nahi phekte [People who have glass houses, don’t throw stones at others]’,” Dhawan said.

This is not the first time when Dhawan has been in loggerheads with his Pakistani counterparts over critical issues pertaining to India . In April this year, he hit out at Shahid Afridi for his comments on Kashmir. Even then, Dhawan had told Afridi that India does not need the advice of outsiders on Kashmir related issues. Dhawan was in sensational form with the bat in the 2019 ICC World Cup, but his campaign was cut short with a finger injury. He struggled on his comeback in the ODI and T20I series against West Indies, but hit his straps in the recently-concluded T20I series against South Africa. The left-hander remains one of the most important members for Virat Kohli as the captain tries to build a formidable side ahead of the T20 World Cup next year.
