And then he took a dig at the crowd!
He compared the crow of Gujarat with that of Mumbai's Wankhede stadium
In a tweet on X (formerly called Twitter), he the photographer and filmmaker wrote, "Last word. The Ahmedabad crowd was rubbishNeed proper fans inside a stadium instead of fly by night pretendersLike the amazing people at WankhedeProper fansCheered the team on and especially Shami post the dropped catchChanted his name non stopBoosted him and the teamEnergised themLifted them when the Kiwis were looking ominousShami got 7 eventually Last time out in Mumbai for a WC final, we wonChoose ur venues wisely."
Atul?Kasbekar also shared Pat Cummins statement to support his stance.
Atul then shared Pat Cummins statement in which he said, "There was a sea of blue in the hotel and Stadium. To see 1,30,000 Indian shirts is an experience we'll never forget. The good thing was they weren't too noisy".
While some? are criticizing him, others support his stance.?
Here's what people are saying.
"The comment by Cummins one day before the match was a perfect psyop.Every time the crowd went silent, it reinforced the message. Absolutely drained the energy, neutralising home advantage.Maybe other venues could’ve countered it, maybe not! We will never know...", a Twitter user wrote referring to?Australia captain Pat Cummins statement one day before the match in which he said that "there's nothing more satisfying than hearing a big crowd go silent and that's the aim for us tomorrow."
"KL Rahul hit only one four in 107 balls. Sky and Jadeja together played 50 balls and got just one four.But let's blame the crowd for not cheering on dot balls," said another user.
"Stop behaving like Pakistanis who blamed the songs, field, ball, and lack of supporters," wrote another person.
"Should be termed "crowd in Ahmedabad" rather than "Ahmedabad crowd." Not many (if any) locals were in the stadium. Getting tickets for that India-Pak game was way way easier."
"Everything ain't about Mumbai only. Tum ko kaptan, khiladi, stadium aur fan sab Mumbai ka chahiye. Tu bhai Mumbai Indians ka hi match dekha kar."
"Ahmedabad crowd?What are you talking AtulPeople from all over India and abroad were present in the stadiumA person of your stature shouldn't be toolkit memberAnd why this hate for Ahmedabad crowd and stadium?"
