US President Donald Trump has hogged a lot of limelight in India for mispronouncing the names of the Indian cricket stalwarts, Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. The video of the same soon went viral on various social media platforms and a number of fans and those from the cricketing community have given some hilarious reactions to it.

The latest to join the party is former England captain Michael Vaughan who wondered how the US President would pronounce the name of Pakistan opener Fakhar Zaman whenever he visits the country.

Speaking at the ‘Namaste Trump’ event at the Motera Stadium in Ahmedabad on Monday, the US President had said: “This is the country, where your people cheer on some of the world’s greatest cricket players from Sachin Tendulkar to Virat Kohli.”

New Zealand cricketer Jimmy Neesham also jumped in. He wrote: “Why hate someone for the pronunciation of names they’ve never heard before when there are so, so, so many better reasons to hate them?”

Even the International Cricket Council (ICC) trolled the US President. On its official Twitter handle, the ICC posted a video “changing” Sachin’s name to “Soochin Tendulkar” on their website, captioning the tongue-in-cheek post “Sach- Such- Satch- Sutch- Sooch- Anyone know?” In the 15-second video clip, the ICC is seen changing Tendulkar’s name in the personal information section to Soo-chin and then saving the changes.
