Cricket is the most popular sport in our country. Cricket during Colonial India was an aristocratic sport which was played by wealthy Britishers. Naturally, the Brahmins and other upper castes took a liking to the sport.
Till the 1980s and early 1990s, there was a Bombay-Madras Brahmin lobby that dominated cricket. Only after BCCI expanded it’s outreach program to rural areas, we started to see talents like Dhoni emerge from small towns. India’s performances in matches improved once we started selecting players based on their talent and not because they are Brahmin.
