India’s T20 World Cup 2026 victory celebrations sparked controversy after former cricketer and MP Kirti Azad criticised the team for taking the trophy to a Hanuman temple in Ahmedabad. Azad argued that the World Cup represents people of all religions and should not be linked to a single faith. Responding to questions about the remarks, wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan dismissed the issue, calling it a “useless question” and urging reporters to focus on India’s historic triumph instead. Kishan said the team had achieved something special for the nation and that discussions should highlight their cricketing success rather than political or religious debates. (PC: PTI)
