Madhav Sharma Defends Piyush Chawla: It has become a common scenario of how athletes are being taunted with the worst of jeers and catcalls when they do not live up to the expectations of fitness that has now been laid in place in an ever-evolving cricket.
Similarly, when Chennai Super Kings opted for Piyush Chawla in the opener, there were obvious questions that have lost their brains as Chawla probably won’t stand chance against this new age of cricketers.
However, it was Piyush Chawla who created all the difference for Chennai when he contained them from scoring big in the middle overs.
He was the one to crack the opening partnership of Rohit Sharma and Quinton De Kock that looked good. He followed it up with some tremendous bowling, spinning the ball all over as that left Mumbai scratching their heads.
He finally finished with magical figures of 4-0-21-1. Many cricketing fans expressed a sigh of joy after Chawla proved the critics wrong with the sheer might of his magical bowling.
Cricket analyst and political observer, Madhav Sharma rocked those haters with a resonating tweet that read, “So many people are making fun of Piyush Chawla. Guys and girls, he is much more talented and successful than you. And talk about his body only when you have six-pack abs.”
Madhav Sharma slams the haters of Piyush Chawla

In fact, this tweet spoke volumes about how the thought process of the youth brigade has changed. In an attempt to run behind preconceived notions of fitness, they forget the basics. In the process, they end up disseminating hate.
That was exactly why Chawla’s spell was so important in proving them wrong. Unfit according to the current cricketing standards, Chawla concentrated more on the accuracy of line and length and that did the trick for him.
Another twitter user highlighted, how Praveen Tambe picked up a stunner in CPL too, thereby defying age and fitness. The tweet read, “With 48 years of age and with that body, Pravin Tambe took an incredible catch in CPL. Robin Singh during his playing days without any abs but he was the best fielder of India during those days. I still don’t understand why people think only those who have six-pack is fit?”
