Parvez Rasool embroiled in National Anthem row

Kashmir cricketer Parvez Rasool has become the latest sportsperson to face the ire on various social media platforms. It was a proud moment for Rasool when he was handed a T20I cap on India's 68th Republic Day.

However, the joy soon turned into a nightmare for the 27-year-old off-spinner.

It all started when a video showed him standing at ease and chewing gum while the national anthem of the country was being played ahead of the first T20 international against England in Kanpur.

The Twitterati was quick to spot it and termed his act as disrespect towards the national anthem. Some even demanded the BCCI to take action against the Kashmiri spinner.

Rasool, who made a comeback to the Indian side after a long hiatus, last played for India in the solitary ODI way back in June 2014 against Bangladesh.
