Former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar expressed dismay during a Cricket World Cup 2023 match as an Indian flag bearing a company's name was defaced, violating protocol. Gavaskar, wanting to question player Shreyas Iyer, was distracted by the incident. He urged authorities to confiscate such flags and warned against defacing the national emblem. Meanwhile, on the India vs South Africa match on Sunday, India dominated, with Virat Kohli's record-equalling century and Ravindra Jadeja's five-wicket haul, securing a commanding 243-run victory. The incident highlighted the need for stricter flag display regulations during international sports events.
