Marsh's iconic WC celebration puts Australian in trouble

ALIGARH, Nov 25 (Agencies): An FIR has been registered against World Cup-winning all-rounder Mitchell Marsh by the police in Uttar Pradesh's Aligarh as he was seen putting his feet on the ICC Men's World Cup 2023 trophy in the skipper Pat Cummins' Instagram story after his team won it by defeating India in Ahmedabad.
According to a report in Mint, the FIR was lodged following a complaint from RTI activist Pandit Keshav. He alleged that the Australian putting his feet on the World Cup trophy has hurt the sentiments of the Indian cricket fans. Keshav also forwarded a copy of the complaint to PM Narendra Modi and also urged that Marsh should not be allowed to play in India.
Pandit Keshav also went one step forward and sent a copy of the complaint to Prime Minister Narendra Modi requesting that the 32-year-old should not be allowed to play cricket in India. This picture of an Australian player posted by Cummins has gone viral over the internet and sports fans from India called it a 'disrespectful' gesture. Marsh was trolled over several social media platforms after this incident.
Marsh amassed 441 runs with an average of 49.00 at an impressive strike rate of 107.56 including two centuries and a half century in the 10 matches he has played in the tournament. He has also picked two wickets against the Netherlands.
