Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar says Vinesh Phogat, who was disqualified from the Paris Olympics, deserves a silver medal. Sachin’s comments are in a note shared on social media. Vinesh reached the final by following all the rules. So Sachin said that Vinesh deserves the medal.

Every sport has its own rules. However, there may be some revisions in certain circumstances over time. Vinesh Phogat followed all the rules and qualified for the final. She was disqualified for weight before the finals. He said that the current action is tantamount to depriving them of a well-deserved medal.

If a sportsperson is disqualified for being caught using drugs, it can be justified. However, Vinesh Phogat reached the final by following all the rules without any irregularities. So they definitely deserve a medal. Sachin also said that we can wait for the verdict of the Sports Arbitration Court.

Earlier Vinesh Phogat was disqualified just before the final. Disqualification was due to excess weight. Vinesh Phogat was disqualified because his weight had increased by 100 grams.
