I think Media is Mad or they cant understand English or they do it purposely taking some context of the sentence and repesent it in a different way. Here is the best example
Sachin said that this is the Best Batting Line up he had ever played in his carear.
While Saurav said that this is good side but not the greatest. He was pointing to the world cup winning 1983 side.
But Sachin never played 1983 world cup batters and he just insisted on Batting line up not the entire team which also includes Bowlers and All rounders.
