New Delhi: Several fans and people from cricket fraternity have come out in support of veteran Wriddhiman Saha ever since the wicketkeeper-batter shared screenshot from a "journalist". Indian cricket team's former head coach Ravi Shastri reacted to the ongoing controversy and slammed the journalist, saying it was "shocking a player being threatened by a journo". Shastri also demanded immediate intervention of the BCCI president into the matter.

Shastri, the former Indian all-rounder who recently stepped down as the head coach of Team India tweeted, "Shocking a player being threatened by a journo. Blatant position abuse. Something that's happening too frequently with #TeamIndia. Time for the BCCI PREZ to dive in. Find out who the person is in the interest of every cricketer. This is serious coming from ultimate team man WS"
