Danny Morrison turned out in a red turban and fake beard during the IPL on Monday. It seemed that Murali Vijay and Virat Kohli were not amused while being interviewed by Morrison. The Kiwi also received criticism on Twitter, to which he posted on the same social networking site, “Dear sports fans, especially those in UK / SA / NZ..host broadcaster Sony tv asked me to dress up & we cleared wth bosses!”
But not all are out with their knives. Bhikhu Bhana, president of the NZ Indian Central Association told Stuff.co.nz, “In my personal view, I didn’t think it was offensive. When you look at Danny Morrison, and I’m an avid cricket follower, he welcomed everyone in a place called Mohali, which is in the Punjab.”
He further went on to add, “And he welcomed them in their language too, basically saying ‘Kia Ora’. And that was it really. I couldn’t see anything that was offensive at all. Cricket can open bridges really and I think Danny tries to do it sometimes. Look at the crowds there. They’re having a good time. From my point of view, I can see nothing culturally offensive from Danny Morrison.”
Morrison also had this to say to Cricbuzz. “The opportunity of T20 coming along, especially in the subcontinent where people are so passionate about it, is great. They love their cricket so much. The passion around the game lifts me. You got to laugh in life. You have to laugh at yourself a lot.”
