Someone's Life Is More Important Than Road-show, Says Gambhir In Response To Chinnaswamy Stampede
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: India head coach Gautam Gambhir on Thursday flayed Royal Challengers Bengaluru for organising an event celebrating their triumph in the Indian Premier League (IPL) without adequate preparations, leading to a stampede near the Chinnaswamy Stadium in which 11 people died and many were injured.
Gambhir said he was nobody to say who is responsible for the tragedy but added that people should behave in a more responsible manner when it is a matter of people's lives.
"I am no one to hold anyone responsible. The important thing is, I never believed in road shows. Winning and celebrations are important, but what is more important is someone's life. If we are not prepared to handle that kind of crowd, then we might as well not have these road shows. We are responsible citizens of this country, and we need to show that in all of our actions," said Gambhir in the pre-departure press conference for the Indian team ahead of the five-match Test tour of England in Mumbai on Thursday.
