3:17Now PlayingChetan Kumar, a Kannada actor, has stirred controversy by renewing his call for reservations in Indian cricket following the team's defeat to Australia in the ICC World Cup 2023 final in Ahmedabad. India fell short defending a score of 240 at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium, with Travis Head's strong batting making it tough for India to recover. Kumar asserted that implementing cricket reservations would have secured India's victory in the World Cup. He persistently advocates for quotas in cricket, having previously urged for caste-based reservations in the selection process for the Indian cricket team. Kumar highlighted the dominance of upper-caste players in Indian cricket, suggesting that introducing reservations would enhance the team's overall performance.
Referencing South Africa's cricket team policy, which mandates a specific quota for non-white players, Kumar emphasized the need for similar measures in India. He pointed out the significant financial stakes and media influence in Indian cricket, asserting that reservations, particularly for Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST), are essential for improved team performance. Kumar's consistent demand for reservations has reignited discussions on their role in Indian sports, particularly in cricket, post-India's World Cup loss. His stance has sparked debates on the potential impact of such measures on the country's cricketing landscape.
