Recently retired Indian left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha has lambasted Rihanna, the famous pop singer from the U.S. after she reacted to the ongoing farmers protest in the capital city of India. Taking to her twitter handle, Rihanna shared an article showing her support for the farmers in India. Her tweet has also taken the matter to a global level.
She wrote, “Why aren’t we talking about this?!”. However, it didn’t seem to have gone down well with Pragyan Ojha. Reacting to the tweet, Ojha said that there is no need for an outsider to poke nose at India’s matters as the countrymen are well aware of the contribution of their farmers.
My country is proud of our farmers and knows how important they are, I trust it will be addressed soon. We don’t need an outsider poking her nose in our internal matters!
Pragyan Ojha represented the national team in 24 Tests and 18 ODI’s since making his debut in the year 2008. He went onto establish himself as one of the go-to spinners for India especially in the longest format but legality with his bowling action and loss of form led to his premature departure from the team. He also bagged the Man of the Match for India in his last game in 2013 taking a 10 wicket haul for just 89 runs in a Test match against West Indies. He announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on 21st February 2020.
