Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has not taken kindly to one of the acts committed by the country's most popular fan group 'Bharat Army'. The 1983 World Cup winner slammed the supporter group for showing disrespect to the Indian flag during the first Test against Australia at Perth's Optus Stadium.

Sunil Gavaskar has taken aim at India’s most popular supporter group “Bharat Army” for showing disrespect to the Indian flag in the first Test match against Australia at Perth’s Optus Stadium. Sunil Gavaskar has urged Bharat Army to change their flags, which has “Bharat” and “Army” written over them.

The Bharat Army is seen as the most loyal group of Indian cricket fans but former team captain Sunil Gavaskar has taken issue with its flag during day two of the first Test against Australia in Perth.

The Bharat Army is hard to miss in any match of the India Cricket Team as these die hard fans of the Indian cricket team are quite visible in the stands giving their support to the team. The fan group stand out amongst the crowd and are a major part of amping up the atmosphere in the stadium as they cheer India on.
