Jhingan said, “I know a lot has happened in the last 48 years. It has been down to an error in judgement on my part. I have had the time to sit and reflect. Something which I should have done, instead to react. To put it simply, what I said in the heat of the game, is, it’s wrong. I am truly sorry for it. I know I have let many people down, including myself and my family.”

Meanwhile, it was a very high-intensity game with some stunning goals in it. But what caught the attention of the fans was the remark made by Sandesh Jhingan after the final whistle.

“First things first. The comment was not intended towards Kerala Blasters FC. I have always respected every opponent. And I have a lot of friends at the club. I’d never disrespect the club especially when I have given my blood and sweat for them.”
“Those who know me personally will tell you that I have always been a huge supporter of the Indian women’s team and women in general. Don’t forget that I have a mother, my sisters, and my wife. I’ve always been respectful towards women.”
“What you hear is an argument I had with my teammate after the game. What I said was a result of the disappointment for not winning the game. I told my teammate not to make excuses. So anyone taking my comment differently is only doing it to tarnish my name. If my comments have hurt anyone, my apologies. It was never intended to create any harm to anyone. Have a good day.”
