    What's the story

    Trinamool Congress (TMC) Member of Parliament Sougata Ray has supported Congress spokesperson Shama Mohamed's controversial comments on Team India captain Rohit Sharma.

    Mohamed had slammed Sharma on social media during the India vs New Zealand Champions Trophy match, calling him "fat for a sportsman" and "the most unimpressive captain India has ever had."

    Ray backed Mohamed's assessment, saying Sharma's performance has been poor and that "India wins because the other players play well, but the captain doesn't contribute."

    He agreed with Mohamed, saying, "What Shama Mohamed has said is correct."

    The Congress party had earlier distanced itself from Mohamed's comments, saying her remarks do not reflect the party's position.
