The world finally witnessed the much-anticipated visit of US President Donald Trump as he arrived in India on Monday at the Ahmedabad airport. He was welcomed at the airport by the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the duo also paid a visit at Mahatma Gandhi’s Sabarmati Ashram along with Trump’s wife and first lady Melania Trump.
From their Sabarmati Ashram visit, the leaders of both the countries finally paved their way to the newly-built Motera Stadium which has etched its name into the record books for being the biggest cricket stadium in the world. Built by demolishing the old cricket stadium, the reinforced Motera Stadium boasts a seating capacity of over 1.10 lakh spectators.

The stadium was filled with people who came to witness the ‘Namaste Trump’ event and the US President took the center stage and addressed the audience as he began delivering his speech. From thanking India for a warm welcome to mentioning Bollywood in the speech– the US President left no stones unturned to shower praises on India.
Donald Trump Caught the attention of all cricket fanatics was Trump taking the names of the Indian stalwarts Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli in his coveted speech. More than the fact that he mentioned the Indian stalwarts, what amused the fans was the manner in which he mispronounced their names. Trump struggled to pronounce Sachin’s name as he pronounced it as ‘Soochin Tendolkar’ and Kohli as ‘Virot Kolee’.

Despite Trump fumbling to pronounce the names of Sachin and Virat, the audience broke into applause after hearing the 73-year-old’s speech. However, ICC decided to troll Trump’s fumble as it took a dig at the US President’s unsuccessful attempt to pronounce Sachin Tendulkar’s name. ICC tweeted a video where they can be seen modifying Sachin’s name to Soo-chin Tendulkar from their database.
