The Border Gavaskar Trophy series has been embroiled in controversies even before it started. The reason for this is a viral video. It is seen in the video that two Indian cricketers refuse to apply ‘Tilak’ during the reception. People on social media are saying different things about this video.
Siraj And Umran Troll
4 Test matches will be played between India and Australia in the Border Gavaskar Trophy series. Even before the start of the series, two players of Team India were seen getting embroiled in controversies. The players being mentioned are both Pacer Mohammed Siraj and Umran Malik.
A video is becoming quite viral. It is seen in the video that Siraj and Umran Malik refuse to get Tilak applied by the female staff during the reception at the team hotel. Both are being trolled a lot by calling them ‘fanatics’. Some fans are also supporting him.
Vikram Rathod Also Did Not Get Tilak Applied
Besides Mohammed Siraj and Umran, the Indian team’s batting coach Vikram Rathore also moves ahead without applying Tilak. However, the team’s head coach Rahul Dravid and other support staff get Tilak used. On the entry of every player, the people present there also clap. Support staff member Hari Prasad Mohan did not get Tilak used, but the trollers targeted Siraj and Umran.
Video Going Viral
When the Indian team reaches the team hotel in Nagpur, the staff welcomes them. It is seen in the viral video on social media that when head coach Rahul Dravid, Siraj, Umran and members of the support staff enter, a female team stands up to welcome them by applying tilak on their forehead. In such a situation, Dravid and some other people get Tilak used, while some, including Siraj, Umran and Rathod, refuse. Some members take off their spectacles and go ahead after applying Tilak.

Trying To Give Religious Color
Now efforts are also being made to give a religious colour to this matter. While posting the video, a user wrote that these cricketers are staunch about their religion. Although many people also supported him. The reason for applying Tilak could be something else, but Siraj and Umran are targeted, especially on social media. Please tell that Bumrah will not be a part of this Test series, and in his absence, Siraj will have a big responsibility.
