Trump’s ‘hilarious’ error raises eyebrows

“The Little Master” represented his country 664 times, and is comfortably the highest run-scorer in the history of Test and ODI cricket. ESPNCricinfo simply describes him as the “most worshipped cricketer in the world”.

He’s a sporting icon, and is treated like a God in India. However, President Donald Trump has evidently has never heard of him. Trump kicked off a two-day tour of the subcontinent nation on Monday, where he was greeted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.Speaking at the revamped Motera Stadium in Ahmedabad, the US President talked about India’s achievements in film and pop culture, before mentioning some of their sporting heroes.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG ORANGE MAN BAD ORANGE MAN BAD 😡😡😡😡😤😤😤😤😤😡😡😡😡😡

Cricket is not well known in the US.

Really? Is that the best you’ve got? Mispronouncing a name? By the way, in America no one gives a shit about cricket.

I don’t get what’s worse. His script writer or the fact he is also surrounded by idiots who don’t suggest that maybe he rehearsed a speech every now and then.

Americans don’t know cricket. Our PM wouldn’t know their football players...

Going to add this in here: It's not whether he KNOWS the people, OR the sport. Tbh he doesn't need to know them. To use them as examples in greatness - It would help to be able to pronounce the names. Not botch them as grossly as he has. Who was his advisers?

You’re becoming as pathetic as CNN.

Cricket isn't a big thing in the US though? Obviously Don is a bit of stump but come on, I'd gather a majority of the US population have never heard of Sachin.

Ugh, you guys will write about anything that's anti Trump. Why would he know? Cricket is not a popular sport in the US.

S A C H I N. A says a or ah, not oo. Basic phonics. My 4 year old granddaughter could read that and say it correctly.

Idiot!

Why would he? Americans are not into cricket. Most Australians wouldn’t know who Mike Trout is?

Trump hasn't even taken 5 minutes to learn something about India, he pronounces the names phonetically because that's how they've been written out for him. If you asked him 5 minutes later who Sachin Tendulkar he'd have NFI The incurious, lazy & dumb POTUS is an embarrassment.

Maybe it’s because cricket is not USA’s national game. Try an example of vice versa Baseball/Hockey sporting knowledge ? Just saying

Shouldn’t have to follow cricket to remember a name. FFS. His mistake is he doesn’t give a sh** about anyone else outside of those who he can milk for money.

He’s probably not a cricket fan😘

Americans only know about cricket vaguely...stupid news article

Would the Indian politician's know some of the best NFL, MLB or NBA players from the late 1990s? I doubt that most of them could name more than 5...

His pronouncing is correct not the English pronouncing

And North of the border in rugby league land most couldn't name an AFL player

I can’t follow your nonsense any longer

To be fair I don’t think Americans watch cricket

Why would he heard of him to be fair I very much doubt he would be known by any country’s out side those who play cricket.

So the crowd in India cheered but idiots in Australia want to make fun of Trump and think they’re clever. Typical

Who cares

Need tell him he played a game that does have real world cups instead of a world club series that's only played in America

Lol close enough

Let’s do a story on the Indian PM’s knowledge of US baseball players. 🙄

Neither I.

OMFG! This is the end of Trump story 13,654,388,765,434.

Who ? I know of the President of the United States but dont know that person at all !

Is it news that Americans don’t follow cricket?

So? This is news?

For all those trying to excuse or justify this. Imagine Modi went to the USA & tried to prop up praise using Michael Jordan as an ex: Pronouncing it as Mackle Joodyn. Then using Shay Kill Neil as another proud sporting hero of US. My point is made - And will be ignored.

Just to woo indians and speech was in world's Cricket stadium!!

Trump wouldn't know if his ass was on fire..

USA doesn't even play cricket lol , tell me who the number one in USA bull rider is lol , still upset and over him getting in , dont worry snowflakes just 5 more years to go then his son come in ...

Go on the street in America. Ask lefties and those on the right who he is and I bet ya 90% wouldn't have a clue. Like myself with that basket ball dude who died. So stop publishing GARBAGE!!!!!!

Durr

Americans don't follow any cricket. I don't think they even play it.

Lol. Most people born 2000 onwards wouldn't know who he is. Hell, most people period wouldn't know who he is. Cricket sucks.

Why would he, it's not the NFL..

Friend of train driver says he raised concerns about poorly maintained rail networkExclusive: The driver of the Sydney-to-Melbourne train which derailed had emailed his friend with concerns about the safety of the line in the weeks leading up to the deadly crash | AnnaPattySMH AnnaPattySMH Class action? AnnaPattySMH The fact that the train required a pilot in the first place is a concern. A pilot is typically only allocated to a train for a section of track that has some kind of significant fault. AnnaPattySMH So he potentially knew there was an issue. Why then did he choose to have the train racing at such high speed and subsequently kill himself and one other?
