Bringing a religious twist to almost everything is something we Indian specialize in, not everyone but it happens often for anyone’s liking, be it politics, art and even sports. Similarly, in a really bizarre allegation from a learned, high profile IPS officer, Sanjiv Bhatt questioned the lack of representation of Muslim players in Indian cricket team.
Dragging religion in sports is very irrational, the players play for the country, meaning there is no connection with faith, and it’s all about the best being picked regardless of once background.
Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh rightly pointed out through his tweet, stating that players are Indians before being a Hindu, Sikh, Muslim or Christian.
Bhajji was right on his money and gave the perfect answer one could have ever given to such ignorant question
