Crores of Indians are still not able to recover from the shock that came in the form of disqualification of Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat in the recent Paris Olympics. 

This decision is still being discussed vigorously among fans and pundits. 

The IOA has challenged this decision in the sports tribunal, so even before the decision, the great Sachin Tendulkar (Sachin Tendulkar on Vinesh Phogat) has made a big appeal in this matter. Sachin has posted in detail on his social media account in this regard. 

Sachin wrote in a message posted on X, "Every sport has rules and these rules need to be seen in their context. They can also change from time to time. Vinesh Phogat qualified for the final in a very fair manner. Disqualifying Vinesh before the final due to weight took away the medal she deserved. This decision defies sportsmanship and logic."

Sachin wrote, "If a player is disqualified on moral grounds like consuming a banned drug that affects performance, it would have been understandable. In this case, it would have been fair to not give any medal to the particular player and push him to the last position. However, Vinesh defeated her competitors fairly to make it to the top two players. Vinesh definitely deserves a medal. "

The Master Blaster further wrote, "Now that we all await the decision of the sports tribunal, let's hope and pray that Vinesh gets the respect she deserves."
