Gautam Gambhir Criticised by Social Media Users For Promoting Cryptocurrency Without Following Ad Disclosure Guidelines, Fans Ask 'Where is the Disclaimer?'
The fact that the India National Cricket Team head coach flouted ASCI guidelines while sharing the post promoting cryptocurrency on social media irked fans who shared their reactions to the same. The Shubman Gill-led India National Cricket Test team earlier played out a 2-2 draw against England in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025.
Gautam Gambhir faced criticism on social media after he promoted cryptocurrency without following the advertisement disclosure guidelines. The India National Cricket Team head coach, on August 6, had shared a clip on his official X account that showed a man turning a newspaper which had a full-jacket advertisement of 'Coin DCX', a platform for buying and selling cryptocurrency. However, X's Community Notes was quick to note below the post that the guidelines for ad disclosure had not been followed. According to the ASCI (Advertising Standards Council of India), a social media post which is an advertisement must be labelled so by using either '#Ad' or anything similar and that protocol was not followed here. As the post with the community notes went viral, fans asked, "Where is the disclaimer?" Another fan also commented, wondering if Gautam Gambhir's X account was hacked.
