ICC Champions Trophy: Indian boxer Gaurav Bidhuri, a World Championship bronze medallist, has called for greater recognition of Olympic sports in India, highlighting the disparity in attention given to different sports.
Speaking to IANS, Bidhuri highlighted the struggles of athletes in sports like boxing, wrestling, and athletics, which face challenges in sponsorship, media coverage, and crowd support, unlike cricket, which benefits from widespread popularity and financial backing.
'It is not that only Virat Kohli works hard; we also work very hard. People should give the same love to Olympic sports. With all due respect, representing India in major sports is much tougher than cricket," the world championship medallist told IANS.
