Rizwan's compassion contrasts with Indian cricketer's hate speech

At least 275 people were killed on Friday when a passenger train hit a stationary freight train, went off the tracks, and hit another passenger train passing in the opposite direction near the district of Balasore in the eastern state of Odisha, India.


Several people from different sectors of life took their socials and condoled the accident. Pakistan's wicket-keeper batter, Muhammad Rizwan, extended his support to the affectees of the disastrous incident. Rizwan, via his Twitter, offered his condolences to the victims and their families of the train accident.

However, contrary to the unity and compassion that Rizwan showed, Yash Dayal, an Indian cricketer, who featured recently for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2023, posted a 'love jihad' story on his Instagram and potentially promoted a hate-mongering speech.

The post, however, was taken down by the cricketer but was in the air for ample time for others to be shared across social media. Yash's post came as a shocker amongst the cricket fraternity as they were surprised by the extremist views of the pacer.
