Social media was in no mood to let the US President Donald Trump go over his huge blunder in pronouncing Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli's name at the 'Namaste Trump' event in Ahmedabad's Motera Stadium. Trump ended up saying "Soo-chin Tendulkar" and "Vorat Kohele" for the two most praised India cricketers.

Cricket fraternity targetted Trump over his mistakes. Not only cricketer, he even mispronounced Swami Vivekanand's name in his speech.

While everyone had a go against Trump, New Zealand cricketer Jimmy Neesham, like always, came with his subtle dig at the US President. He wants everyone to not pay attention to the pronunciation gaffe and focus on other things to slam him.

"Why to hate someone for the pronunciation of names they've never heard before when there are so, so, so many better reasons to hate them," Neesham tweeted.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President Sourav Ganguly and its Secretary Jay Shah on Monday were present at the 'Namaste Trump' event at the Motera Stadium.
