The US president Donald Trump, who is on a historic visit to India, has been trolled by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the apex body of global cricket, and others for pronouncing the name of Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar on Monday (24).

While addressing a huge gathering at the world's largest cricket venue Motera stadium in Gujarat Trump said: "This is the country where your people cheer on some of the world's greatest cricket players from Sachin Tendulkar to Virat Kohli. The greatest in the world," Trump said.

But he pronounced Sachin wrongly as "Sue Chin".

ICC was quick to react. "Sach-, Such, Satch, Sutch, Sooch...Anyone know?", it tweeted on Monday with a short video.

Former English professional footballer Gary Lineker was also not happy with Trump's pronunciation.

"Who is this Sue Chin Tendulkerr?," he tweeted with the video of Trump's speech at Namaste Trump event.

Both tweets went viral and many joined the conversation on social media to troll trump. Some even said that Trump thought that he is in China, not India.

Interestingly, a decade ago on February 24, Sachin Tendulkar created history by becoming the first batsman to score a 200 in ODIs.

Government unveils stricter visa rules, to take effect from July 22

THE GOVERNMENT on Tuesday introduced the first set of tougher immigration rules in the House of Commons aimed at reducing the recruitment of foreign skilled workers, including in the care sector. The new measures are described as a “complete reset” of the UK’s immigration system.

The proposed changes, originally outlined in an ‘Immigration White Paper’ in May, include raising the skills and salary thresholds for foreign workers — including those from India — ending overseas recruitment for care worker roles, and removing more than 100 occupations, such as chefs and plasterers, from the shortage occupation list that currently allows certain visa exemptions.
