Ind V USA: Indian Players Across U19 World Cup Squads A Concern? | First Sports With Rupha Ramani

Описание: The 2026 Under-19 World Cup showed a quiet yet powerful shift in global cricket. From the USA to Japan, Scotland, Zimbabwe and Australia, Indian-origin players dominate team sheets. Is India now the engine driving world cricket’s expansion? The India V USA clash felt like an intra-squad match, with Indian names, Indian roots and even Indian parents singing the national anthem. As migration, opportunity gaps and grassroots failures collide, Indian diaspora talent is filling the void and raising standards. But this is also drawing criticism. Rupha Ramani breaks down how India's talent pipeline is reshaping global cricket and explores whether it is a blessing for global cricket or a curse.

Also on the show, French football star Kylian Mbappe seems to be earning a weird tag, following the sacking of Xabi Alonso. Despite being a football sensation, why are his club managers getting sacked? What dilemma are clubs facing under one of the biggest football stars? And AFCON 2025/26 is at the business end. While football was a major talking point throughout the tournament, the tailors aren't far behind either. Players' outfits stole the spotlight. And it isn't just the players, fans with their unique symbolism brought colour to the African tournament too.
