Trump's struggle to pronounce Tendulkar, Kohli's names has Twitter in stitches

US President Donald Trump may have praised Indian cricket stars Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli on Monday at a rally in Ahmedabad but it seems as if he's never heard of them before. 

The American president was accorded a warm welcome when he arrived in India at the Sardar Patel Stadium in India, which is the largest cricket stadium in the world. 

As expected, Trump did mention two of the biggest cricket stars India has produced over the past three decades, Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. 

However, Trump's struggle to pronounce 'Sachin' and 'Virat' left Twitter in stitches. Instead of Sachin, he said 'Soochin' and instead of Virat, the American president ended up saying 'Virrut'. 

This wasn't the only name that the US president had trouble pronouncing, though. Trump tried to quote the Hindu monk Swami Vivekananda but gave up halfway, laughing it off.

"As the great religious teacher Swami Vive..kamun...nund once said, 'the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him, that moment I am free'," he said.

This wasn't the only interesting part of Trump's speech, though. Like other international celebrities before him, he went on to mention the famous Shah Rukh Khan movie Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.

Trump visited the Taj Mahal later on Monday with the First Lady of the United States Melania Trump. The Post reported that city authorities built a large wall to hide from view a slum near the route of Trump's motorcade.

Trump will meet Indian president Ram Nath Kovind and Modi on Tuesday.
