DIE-HARD INDIAN CRICKET & SACHIN’S FAN SUDHIR GAUTAM ATTACKED BY BANGLADESHI CRICKET FANS.

Mirpur: Famous Sachin Tendulkar and Indian cricket fan Sudhir has claimed that he

was attacked by Bangladesh fans in Dhaka after India’s loss in the second one-day

international on Sunday.

Sudhir, who has devoted his life to Sachin Tendulkar and Indian cricket, said as soon

as the match got over, he was mobbed by Bangladesh fans outside the Sher-e-

Bangla National Cricket Stadium here and the auto-rickshaw he hired was pelted by

stones.

“As soon as I left the stadium, people mobbed me and started snatching the

Tricolour, breaking the handle of the flag. Two policemen who were outside the

stadium came to my rescue and they escorted me to an auto-rickshaw. But the mob

further attacked the auto and tried to break into it. They even hurled stones on the

vehicle but luckily the auto was covered completely and I didn’t get hurt,” Sudhir told

Cricketnext.

Sudhir, who is also known as Sudhir Gautam, is the famous and the most visible

Indian cricket fan in stadiums around the world. Images of him with Sachin Tendulkar

and the rest of the Indian players with the 2011 World Cup trophy are etched in the

memories of every Indian cricket fan.

He has travelled many times to Dhaka to watch and support Tendulkar and the Indian

team. This is his eighth trip to the city.

Bangladesh on Sunday created history by beating India in an ODI series after the

visitors lost the second ODI by six wickets to trail 0-2 in the three-match series.

The third and the last ODI is scheduled for 24th June at the Same venue.
