Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) president Arun Jaitley, who has come under fire from the Delhi government for his alleged involvement in corruption during his 13-year tenure at the helm, has received support from Delhi cricketing stars Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir and Ishant Sharma.

Delhi cricket team's captain Gautam Gambhir has criticized former players, likely Bishen Singh Bedi and Kirti Azad, for blaming Jaitley for the corruption in DDCA. He went on to praise the finance minister's contribution to Delhi cricket on social media.

Gambhir's sentiments were echoed by his former Test opening partner Virender Sehwag. The 37-year-old, who recently retired from international cricket, revealed how approachable the DDCA president was, compared to other men in the state cricket board.

Indian pace bowler Ishant Sharma also took to social media to emphasize on how 'fair' Arun Jaitley has been in his role.

The Delhi government has asked for Jaitley's resignation or removal from the Union Cabinet in order to enable an independent probe into the allegations brought against him.
