It was about the organisation of the supporters we attacked, how it was organised, total disorganisation there wasn\u2019t any properly planned programme so the supporters got stranded and some were watching the matches on the streets.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If there should be any organisation of supporters which may happen this time round to go and cheer them up in India, yes we have to put them under one elephant, I don\u2019t want to say umbrella&#8230;They should come together and when they do we would have the courage to support them and not splinter groups,&#8221;
