The veteran Indian wicket-keeper batter, Wriddhiman Saha, on Tuesday, came up with a series of tweets in which he explained the reason behind him not wanting to reveal the name of the journalist who threatened him on grounds of humanity. However, he also fired a warning saying that if such an incident happens again, he will not hold back. When Saha had shared a WhatsApp chat regarding the same, he had received a lot of support from the Indian cricketing fraternity.
Former Indian skipper, Virender Sehwag was one of the first former cricketers to supported Saha. He had slammed the ‘respected’ journalist left, right, and center. And even now, post-Saha’s clarification, he is the first to react and wants the cricketer to name the journalist who threatened him for not giving an interview.

Virender Sehwag feels the 37-year-old shouldn’t hesitate in revealing the name of the journalist public so that no other cricketer suffers again in the future. He also praised Wriddhiman Saha for his kind nature but felt it is important that he takes the tough step. In his tweet, Sehwag wrote: “Dear Wriddhi, it’s not your nature to harm others and you are a wonderful guy. But to prevent such harm from happening to anyone else in the future , it’s important for you to name him. Gehri saans le, aur naam bol daal.”

Earlier in the day, Wriddhiman Saha acknowledged that he was hurt with the messages from a journalist but stressed that it won’t be good to name him for the sake of the latter’s career.
In his tweets, Wriddhiman Saha wrote: ” I was hurt and offended. I thought not to tolerate such kind of behavior and didn’t want anyone to go through these kind of bullying. I decided I will go out and expose the chat in public eye, but not his/her name. My nature isnt such that I will harm anyone to the extent of ending someone’s career.”

He also added, “So on grounds of humanity looking at his/her family, I am not exposing the name for the time being. But if any such repetition happens, I will not hold back. I thank each and everyone who has shown support and extended their willingness to help. My gratitude”.
1/3- I was hurt and offended. I thought not to tolerate such kind of behaviour and didn’t want anyone to go through these kind of bullying. I decided I will go out and expose the chat in public eye, but not his/her name
