He also tagged the BCCI in his post.The post quickly gained traction on the social media platform, garnering more than 326,000 views and over 700 comments, with users sharply divided over the issue. Netizens reactMany users agreed with Azad's concerns, arguing that cricket matches are family entertainment and that advertisements of this nature can make for uncomfortable viewing."Very true sir. I also felt ashamed about it and left watching it," one user commented.Another wrote, "Even as an adult it felt awkward watching those ads with my parents."However, several others defended the advertisements, saying they promote awareness about safe sex and contraception rather than inappropriate content."On the contrary, Mister Azad, given the population explosion, this is far more important than anything else. Educate kids. A playground is a great platform to raise awareness," one user responded.Another questioned the criticism, writing, "Why is it shameful? Give me one reason. It's actually a good way to teach control and safety. Condoms are important in today's world. People need to be made aware."A third user added, “Why is that an issue? If your kids are teenagers they should know that it's birth control. My dad told us about contraception at age 10 or so.”Azad's remarks came during the live broadcast of the second T20I between India and England at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester on Saturday. In an entertaining contest, England chased down India's target of 191 with four wickets to spare, reaching the total in 19 overs.
