Pakistani fans on social media are divided over a letter urging humane treatment for Imran Khan: many praise Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev for backing him, while some of their own cricket legends are called spineless and criticized for the response.
Indian cricketers including Kapil Dev, Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh, and Irfan Pathan have voiced their support for the protesting wrestlers who have accused the Indian wrestling federation chief, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, of sexual harassment. The wrestlers have been protesting for the past five days, demanding Singh's dismissal and justice for the alleged exploitation of women wrestlers over the past decade. The Delhi Police have agreed to investigate the charges against Singh, but the wrestlers' larger mission is to remove him from his position as federation chief. The wrestlers have received limited support, and Vinesh Phogat, an Olympic medalist, has called on the Indian cricket community to speak up.
