Man's not wrong. Karnataka won 3 Ranji Trophies in 4 yrs between 1995-99, and thats when you saw a bunch of Karnataka boys in the national team. That was Robin's point. If you are not from Bombay/Delhi, it takes that level of winning to get merely noticed.

Being a fast bowling all rounder is very very tough bro. That's why in the world there are not many fast bowling all rounders. Player needs to be natural fit. And they will undergo more injuries than anyone. It is really tough@@jaymagh7538
its karnataka ........not like south or north cricket is not only one sport there are other sports too where all parts of karnataka ppl have participated
Definitely it's Karnataka, but see the records of partiality, most players are only from south part of ka. No one from north ka. I know very good players from belagavi, gulbarga. But they never get any chance in Karnataka ranaji team.
Dravid was a run machine. He averages about 81 in Ranji trophy. If they would drop Dravid in odi in 1998 he would score 100 in next few games to come back in the next series. Dravid was the best batsmen in the world between 2002-2006.
Bhai uss se pehle Kumble, Prasad aur Srinath India ka strike bowlers ban chuke the. Dravid ne koi barrier nahi tode. Amazing servant of Indian cricket... But your point is invalid.
There was no hurdle. There were many south players playing for India before that. Azharuddin was literally the captain of the team when dravid made his debut. You south guys of today love to play the victim all the time.
Rohit failed to score runs during 2007 to 12, but he was given chances after chance by Dhoni and sustained with his background. At least Rohit fans respect Dhoni for what Rohit today is
Dhoni also failed in first few matches then dada sent him from number 7 to his batting spot and he scored 148n.o.,ever seen any captain do that to a new comer?sacrificed his opening slot for sehwag,later send dhoni at number 3 Least you can do is thank that gentleman named sourav ganguly that u have mahi who u admire so much❤🙏
@@Sudhirchoudhary2788 no one is saying Ganguly isn't great but comparing Dhoni to Rohit is nonsensical because Rohit's struggle lasted 6 years whereas Dhoni was new to the team and struggled for only a few matches. That's a lot different because I can guarantee you that if Dhoni had failed in that match or in the next few matches then he would have been dropped and we would've never seen him again.
Yes exactly. Rohit's batting was horrendous for 5-6 years on the trot! But I'm glad dhoni stuck with him. We got an absolute champion from 2013!!!@@rangergaming8316
After yuvi and bhajji, It took a long time for a player to come from Punjab. Only in couple of years that Gill and Arshdeep started playing for India continuously.
Under Sachin captaincy period I saw Kumble, SujithSomasundaram, Prasad, Srinath, Dravid, Vijay Bharadwaj, Sunil Joshi, Dodda Ganesh & David Johnson all played for India. 1996 - 97 season India toured SA/ WI for long series. All of them except Sujith Somasundaram & Vijay Bharadwaj part of Indian team. When we look at squads which toured Windies & SA we can find RahulDravid, Kumble & Prasad in all 8 tests, spinner Sunil Joshi in 4 tests in WI, Srinath in 3 tests in SA, pacer D. Ganesh in 3 tests, 2 vs SA & 1 vs WI & pacer D.Johnson 1 test vs SA. These all players played for India from 1st test in SA tour to 1st test in WI tour under Sachin captaincy. In first 4 tests 20 were filled by these Karnataka & rest were Sachin, Mongia, Azhar & Ganguly in all 4 tests, Laxman in 3 tests, V. Rathore & W. V. Raman in 2 tests and Sidhu in only one test. taking up from Nathaniel Dharmateja's answer in Quora

Exactly.. it's because Karnataka won lot of Ranji trophies that time.. There is nothing like North South and stuff. It's who wins more, those teams send highest players. But, now IPL has changed everything
Robin is on point. Precisely why India has a rich history of the world class cricketers but very rarely a consistently winning team. Because the players in general are not trained to play as a team to win. And the Mumbai culture is to blame.

Dravid lives in Bangalore throughout his life..
Robin forgot to mention Murali vijay from Tamilnadu while mentioning tamil players playing for india... He played longer than karthik for india in tests
There are reasons outside cricket why his name is not mention. He doesn't have respect by his peers and the fraternity. Though ppl have included him in commentator box he has a stain to his personality and reputation.

Rohit Sharma was really lucky to play for Mumbai and MI. I can't think of any other cricketer who had been given as many chances as he was from 2007 to 2013. He was the real comeback man making a Test comeback in 2019 Edit: I'm glad he made his opportunities count because no other cricketer would have been backed that much in future if he failed
Yes he was given backing, but he also had potential. Plus he wasn't playing at his preferred position because the position was already reserved by Sachin, sehwag, gambhir. He sometimes even played in the lower order.
Robin is absolutely correct. I don't think there has ever been a time when the BCCI selection committee did not have someone from Mumbai, Delhi or even Karnataka. Despite him being right on most points , there was a time when Karnataka also pulled a lot of influence in the BCCI. It's also worrisome that real talent, goes unnoticed, merely because of politicking and regional biases. Saurashtra beating Mumbai few years ago , probably is indicative of an equalising landscape. I have great respect for ROBIN uthhapa , after this interview. Way more articulate than some poster boys of Indian cricket today.
Look at Sanju Samson, dude has shown time and time again that he deserves to be a regular in the team but he never gets opportunities and that's because he's from Kerala. The last big name player from Kerala before Sanju was Sreesanth and that was a decade ago.
That actually works the other way round. Indian coaches come with a lot of ego and grudge games. Players ignored during domestic seasons will never be able to break into a franchise. Foreign coaches have no such bias
Prasanna, Bhagwat Chandrasekhar, Gundappa Viswanath, Roger Binny, Brijesh Patel, Raghuram Bhat & Syed Kirmani led Karnataka to 3 Ranji titles (and 3 runners up title) in a span of 10 years between 1973 and 1982 also Many Karnataka cricket players have represented India, including Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble, Javagal Srinath, Sunil Joshi, Venkatesh Prasad, Vijay Bharadwaj, and Dodda Ganesh.
Had T Natarajan was from Mumbai, he would have played atleast ten matches extra than what he played currently. Its s fact theres slight edge to north players than south folks
At one time there was more than 5 player in indian team Dravid, shreenath, venki, kumble, vinay kumar, Manish Pandey, Mayaank etc. Stupid question and stupid answer. KL Rahul, Prasid Krishna even after failure gets lot of chance. I am from karnataka, I never felt there was bias in selection from karnataka.
@@Snoozefor10minutes KL himself won ranji trophy thats why he got selected. after getting selected for team india he took only 18 inning to score 3 test 100, one odi 100 and one t20 100,, people really have no idea how much performance kl rahul has put in his career to being treated like this today, his only failure has been to not be able to deliver in big stage where he is not exception, there have been many cricketer who couldn't deliver on big stage.
Vijay Bharadwaj played in 1999. You missed David Johnson who also played along-with his other 5 team mates from the Karnataka Ranji team in the period of 1995-97
Azhar himself was from south. May be that's why. There will always be region bias in India bcz of different cultures. Captain always prefers players who suits their mindset. I don't say it's wrong though bcz our country is so big and picking 11 is really tough.
Either what Robin is saying or you if you get a chance, you have to be extraordinary talent-wise consistently at what you do like a Ravi Ashwin. Even Ashwin had his struggles and his place was threatened when he had a lean patch. One of the reasons Indian cricket struggles in tournaments.
Before ganguly, no captain even recruited talents from the eastern India. So before arguing about north v south, the real question should be why the east is less represented
@@harmanjeet1454Kohli is from Delhi he has always played from Delhi don’t include him there and if u r talking about Gill he hasn’t been your average cricketer growing up dude has smashed almost all records in junior cricket along with Prithvi shaw and were captain and vice captain of India under 19 winning team so u can’t just say because he was Punjabi that’s why he is there
Half of 90s team was filled with players from South (Specially Bangalore ) .. dravid, kumble, srinath, sunil joshi, venkatesh prasad, vijay bharadwaj, vvs laxman, venkatapathy raju .
Exceptional talents get given opportunities. But if they fail in the national team a couple of times, they don't get given the long rope like many Mumbai players do. That's the point here.
@@darksoul4721 right , similarly how Rohit was given a long leash because everyone saw what he was capable of. It's not about a particular state, it's about the individuals too.
In the last 30 years The indian team has always had good representation from the south even in the worldcup winning team of 1987 had 4 sI player 5 if you include Ravi shastri (Originally from Udupi but represented Mumbai)
@@deepalakshmi5890 yeah born in Udupi don't you know Mumbai is filled with people from Coastal karnataka running Udupi restaurants , banks , even people of North Karnataka live in large nos there

Mannn, Robin uththappa is just answering nonsense just to not hurt the bug northie and Mumbai lobbies. The shark truth is so many south indians so talented and skilled could not get a break through. Few crickets from south who got a chance are brahmins.
More then north India Indian team is mostly filled with players from metro cities since 1st team till niw u feel many players from Mumbai 2nd comes delhi

0:32 Couldn't agree more, although most people will vehemently disagree with that. 3:27 I feel just like how Madras Cricket became Tamil Nadu Cricket, Bombay Cricket not becoming Maharashtra Cricket instead of Mumbai Cricket haa been a huge loss for the possibilities Cricket in rest of Maharashtra could have had.
without seeing this video i would say that BCCI has always been biased and partial towards south players and have only supported north players always and will continue to do so - thats indians for you the only time there were 6players from south in an indian team was when DEVE GOWDA from karnataka was the prime minister of india people should not forget that
Even then most of them were from Karnataka. Guys from Kerala and other states never get any opportunities. Sanju Samson came the closest but he doesn't get regular opportunities.
Its not just Ashwin or Kumble who r engineers , Javagal , Venketesh Prasad r also in the same ranks , in the early days EAS Prassana , Dravid is well qualified too , they had to b top in studies & top in game too .
2:23 and without any Brahmin and Khats, BCCI is the most castest organisation ever existed, if you check the history you can see there has always been 4-5 brahmis in the squad and there was time were out of 11 players 7 wer brahmins which is only 5% of our total population, if BCCI selected players based on skil rather than caste India would have wone the entire world cup and remain top
In the near future we will never see cricketers from the metros. The cricketers will come from remote towns but ofcourse get selected after they relocate to the metros.
There was a time where Indian team had 4 karnataka players like Rahul Dravid, J.sreenath, A.Kumble and Venkatesh prasad. That was the golden era for karnataka players. ❤
I disagree with Robbie, being from his state Karnataka. Many players played for India from Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Where I agree with him is that your team had to win the Ranji Trophy for selectors to notice you in the past. Team with great Ranji Trophy record like Mumbai, Karnataka, Delhi, Tamil Nadu and others have produced good amount of cricketers
Powerful cricket boards like Tamilnadu, Karnataka has edge over other southern States.Mumbai Delhi other powerful boards.After the arrival of Dhoni state like jharkhand got recognition introduction of IPL many other players got chance in Indian team.
We all need to remember there are only 11 spots in the team for a huge country. So there will be always be players who miss out. Having said that Mumbai always used to get preference specially under biggest politician in Indian Cricket, Sunil Gavaskar. He always played for his own records and gave preferential treatment to Mumbai players.
Sunil Gavaskar is the greatest opener Test cricket has seen. He played valiantly in Test cricket, carrying his bat several times. Faced the likes of Lillee Thompson, roberts croft, holding marshall, garner with ease, without helmet. Bombay dominated in ranji trophy and deservingly got its players selected.
@@mahanidhibanakar3019 They've got valid reasons though. Mumbai has won 42 Ranji trophies, while no other state has won it even more than 10 times. You can't do politics in winning cricket matches.
@@mahanidhibanakar3019 exploration is the reason why so many cricket tournaments are held in India. Ranji trophy isn't the only criteria for showcasing talent. On top of that, the IPL teams have their own scouts that do talent hunting, so that way players can make their name in the IPL and then perform well in local tournaments to get selection in the Indian team. Cricket Players have got it way better now than they ever had. Be it money wise or facility wise. But at the same time, you've to understand that the indian team has only 11 or 15 spots. Not everyone is going to get a chance to fill that spot. Even most of the mumbai players don't get to play for India.
Not always. There was a time, when 50% of the team was made of South India, especially Karnataka. G R Vishvanath, BS Chandrashekhar, Prasanna, Kirmani, Brijesh Patel, Venkat Raghavan were in one team. Later there was an era when Dravid, Kumble, Srinath, Venky were together. Yet, if you take longer period it is true that N.India had more representation.
Well none from Tamilnadu after Ashwin why not nattu fir bowling in t20 just accept fact that North Indian are biased towards their players and those who speak Hindi
It's not about north, south, east and west it's about the skills and hardwork any one puts in the game. And if you really want to ask about a getting representation from the different regions then you should also ask about north east and states like Bihar.
I guess Ranveer is meeting with lot of woke people that is why he is getting such question in his head...within North itself there is less talent coming out of Bihar, Jharkhand, UP, MP while most people are either Gujrati or Marathi...but these are just nonsense question to even ask...where there is better facilities, people will hail from there...question should be why there is no facilities is Jharkhand, Bihar or North East...Is it centre government faults or State government incompetency or lack of vision...
It’s absolutely biased towards North Indians. If you are from south, you have to excel like crazy to get a chance. But if you are from North, just good performance would get you a place
Beg to differ with Robin on one point. He mentioned that you have to win Ranji trophy to get noticed. If that is so how many players from vidharbha and MP have been selected though they were Ranji champions two years back.
The problem in Southern stats 1. Andhra & Kerala are weak teams. Even Hyderabad is a mediocre team. 2. TN & Karnataka are strong teams. But TN dont have fast bowlers, they only produce spinners & batters...so they are in competion with Mumbai straight away. 3. Karnataka does produce fast bowlers..but after Srinath/Prasad. All the likes of Vinay Kumar, Sreenath Aravind, Abhimanyu Mithun etc were flops in the internationals. Prasidh had some success and was backed, but flopped badly. KL is the only one who is getting some support. Anyway North India is such a big geography, except these 4-5 states..everything is clubbed as North India..while in reality Mumbai, MH, Gujrat, WB arent "North India" technically.
Same with politics, People don't get equal representation. I remember my northie friend saying annamalai can't become pm because he speaks Tamil. Why is one language ruling the entire country?
I'm from karnataka But you do know that hindi is understood even by karnataka Andhra telangana. If he can start speaking both hindi and tamil there won't be an issue
pv Narasimha rao was from erstwhile andhra pradesh and he pushed important decisios in indian parliament as pm . There is not much discrimination as told. Its simply a narrative pushed to create more division and get votes
Because people won't be able to relate with him. Most of india speaks Hindi or some form of Hindi that is amalgamated with their own regional language. How will people relate with anamalai if they don't even understand him? Edit- you've to understand that Hindi isn't a language restricted to a particular state. It's a language that has connected people from different states. Gujarat has its own language, but the people speak Hindi that is heavily influenced by Gujarati, same goes for Maharashtra, Punjab, Odisha, UP, rajasthan, West Bengal and many other states. Not everyone had the luxury to study in an English medium school, so Hindi became the connecting language during the early days, and that is why Hindi has a strong influence now.
@@kushwanthsai49 I am from karnataka too. Specifically bangalore. My primary language is kannada. I am just saying that people in southern states understand Tamil better than hindi. If you are exception then can't help. I talk to shops in Tamilnadu for my import and export business and picked up Tamil in 6 months. Infact malayali and telugu speakers speak Tamil fluently but we are the odd one out. I was in thirupathi they didn't understand English and kannada so I spoke in Tamil and they understood. Same with kerala people. Hindi is so similar to language spoken in Pakistan and it is a threat to our national security. Instead Tamil should have been our unifying language. Anyway we all watch Rajnikanth movies. I was in karkarla when annamalai became ips officer. People ruled by mughlas speak mughal language hindi.
@@bharath2508 If you were really from karnataka you would know quite a lot of people can understand telugu as it has similar vocabulary and few common words. I will ask you to list me some words in tamil similar to kannada that are common to understand
Mumbai, Punjab, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu have traditionally been the bastions of Indian cricket. Spare a thought for Eastern India. Barring MSD, Ganguly, Deep Dasgupta, Manoj Tiwary, Debasis Mohanty, Shivsundar Das, hardly any folks have played for India in the last 30 years.
@@BonBonShrimp Sorry, I missed those two. Still, East and Northeast have had the lowest representation. BCCI should work towards providing better coaching and training facilities in the East.
Robin was great sensation.... He lost his way for changing his batting technique so many times... His coaches spoiled his career... The Robin who use to come and hit big sixes for RCB was best than he opening batting for KKR...
I think it's about the facilities and coaches. Like in my state uttarakhand I don't think there's not so much academy and etc so basically they move early in childhood to big cities. It's my opinion , same goes for north east and other states i think. I mean like if you have money you wanna join academy obviously you will choose a good and reputed one and that you will find in a metro city. Like i think ayush badoni , pant , Anuj rawat , even dhoni belongs to uttarakhand but they move to big cities just because of facilities. Dhoni is a expectional case here.
This interviewer keeps interrupting. When the guest is speaking and the viewer is interested, this interviewer interrupts with his own half baked knowledge.
First of all people should know south India is not half of India it’s 5 out of 28 states+some UT. That’s just 30% roughly. And we do feature 1/3rd of team. So the question we get ignore that’s not true Also people in south don’t see much value in cricket as much as someone in Mumbai. We see more value in other stuff like IT sector that’s our strength and don’t forget North East and some part of south is also more influenced by Football.
Fabulous Robin! Kumble, Dravid. Venkatesh etc. atleast had the backing of Gundappa Vishwanath as a selector and their records were showcased well because of that. So the South always needed good influencers, otherwise it has always been difficult for them. Not only North Indians but also West Indians... they get more chances, more opportunities than the South Indians...... a big example of some discontent especially after us Chennaiites feel so bad even today that..... the BCCI which was first formed in the Madras Presidency was taken away and annexed by Mumbaikars 🤨The ideas are always formed in the South but always lifted / taken away by the North and the West! The Southies have greater knowledge of the game.
I really don't know what Punjabi players Ranvir is talking about. There are so less representatives from Punjab. Its Harbhajan and Yuvi literally started popular punjabi players and now Kohli.
Bishansingh bedi,Navjot singh sidhu,Mohinder Amarnath, Dinesh Mongia,Shubman Gill,Arshdeep,Madan Lal,Yuvraj singh,Lal Amarnath,VRV singh,Harvinder singh....I can go on and on ...but I guess you got the point here
India has a population of 1.5 billion. When you add the population of Australia, NZ, England, WI, South Africa, Pakistan, Bangladesh, SL, Afghanistan etc even then India has bigger population so in my opinion India should have at least 2 teams competing in ICC events simply because our population is way bigger and that would provide more opportunities to boys in South or East etc.
I would disagree on his Indian coach thing, franchise cricket anywhere shouldn't be restricted on nationality, it should be more widespread. Indian coach thing might be suitable for national teams but ironically 2011 coach was african national.
You couldn't get what he said, he talked about cultural and language barriers between a foreign coach and indian player. I mean someone urban place could learn a lot easier from coach compared to someone from rural and interior part of India
@@Snoozefor10minutes I understood that and I feel coaching at IPL is less about improving one's game, there's entire first class game system for that. IPL is more about dealing situations and pressure. Getting guidance from seniors like lara, ponting, langer etc., cant be replaced until some indian senior replaces them (eg. Ganguly for DC). Many teams already have indian subordinates to solve the issues you mentioned.
@@rangergaming8316 Yeah but need all teams to do that and IPL needs to provide incentive for the academies like having 5 U21 academy players in your team.
Having Gora coaches is to ensure these big retired players don't go around bad mouthing the IPL. They actually become the cheerleaders because they are making good money. The day all these foreign coaches are replaced by Indian coaches, the very same guys will play a leading role, backed by their boards, to discredit the IPL. So having these guys as coaches and commentators is a necessary evil, that lets the IPL get bigger and bigger.
Punjab had sporting culture in almost all games but it has long gone past and now it’s just in cricket and hockey. If people from Punjab represented at international level in the past more than any other state of India it was mostly because of their skill and strength.

Hey , y r u spamming every where @@closestewart
South lobby was pretty active back then but these days you have IPL and you can't fool anyone
Exactly.. it's because Karnataka won lot of Ranji trophies that time.. There is nothing like North South and stuff. It's who wins more, those teams send highest players. But, now IPL has changed everything
Robin is on point. Precisely why India has a rich history of the world class cricketers but very rarely a consistently winning team. Because the players in general are not trained to play as a team to win. And the Mumbai culture is to blame.
So much respect for this man.❤ Robin❤

Rohit Sharma was really lucky to play for Mumbai and MI. I can't think of any other cricketer who had been given as many chances as he was from 2007 to 2013. He was the real comeback man making a Test comeback in 2019
Edit: I'm glad he made his opportunities count because no other cricketer would have been backed that much in future if he failed
Yes I remember the days.
yeah true but he had alwas potential
Yes he was given backing, but he also had potential. Plus he wasn't playing at his preferred position because the position was already reserved by Sachin, sehwag, gambhir. He sometimes even played in the lower order.
@@Sunny-sc5vqobviously he was a bowling all rounder when he was selected so he played at that slot.
But still India's best batsman
Robin is absolutely correct.
I don't think there has ever been a time when the BCCI selection committee did not have someone from Mumbai, Delhi or even Karnataka.
Despite him being right on most points , there was a time when Karnataka also pulled a lot of influence in the BCCI.
It's also worrisome that real talent, goes unnoticed, merely because of politicking and regional biases. Saurashtra beating Mumbai few years ago , probably is indicative of an equalising landscape.
I have great respect for ROBIN uthhapa , after this interview.
Way more articulate than some poster boys of Indian cricket today.
Look at Sanju Samson, dude has shown time and time again that he deserves to be a regular in the team but he never gets opportunities and that's because he's from Kerala. The last big name player from Kerala before Sanju was Sreesanth and that was a decade ago.

Uthappa speaking about the importance of Indian coaches in the IPL was on point.💯
Excellent discussion ! Uthappa talking facts - more Indian coaches are needed in the IPL !

That actually works the other way round. Indian coaches come with a lot of ego and grudge games. Players ignored during domestic seasons will never be able to break into a franchise. Foreign coaches have no such bias
Prasanna, Bhagwat Chandrasekhar, Gundappa Viswanath, Roger Binny, Brijesh Patel, Raghuram Bhat & Syed Kirmani led Karnataka to 3 Ranji titles (and 3 runners up title) in a span of 10 years between 1973 and 1982 also Many Karnataka cricket players have represented India, including Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble, Javagal Srinath, Sunil Joshi, Venkatesh Prasad, Vijay Bharadwaj, and Dodda Ganesh.

At one time there was more than 5 player in indian team Dravid, shreenath, venki, kumble, vinay kumar, Manish Pandey, Mayaank etc. Stupid question and stupid answer. KL Rahul, Prasid Krishna even after failure gets lot of chance. I am from karnataka, I never felt there was bias in selection from karnataka.
Dude that's what he said, Karnataka at that time were winning ranji trophies, that's why they got chances, but KL is an exception
@@Snoozefor10minutes KL himself won ranji trophy thats why he got selected. after getting selected for team india he took only 18 inning to score 3 test 100, one odi 100 and one t20 100,, people really have no idea how much performance kl rahul has put in his career to being treated like this today, his only failure has been to not be able to deliver in big stage where he is not exception, there have been many cricketer who couldn't deliver on big stage.
Yes exactly. Only zone that can complain might be from East zone where you really had to break door open like what Dhoni did in 2000s
Dravid and kumble were much seniors and sreesanth got max support from dravid .
Chill bro it's a trend nowadays to blame North Indians for everything 😅😇.
Now it makes sense regarding Sarfaraz Khan. He was also selected after Mumbai won this year Ranji Trophy.
I agree let's say you're a really good cricketer but they never win Ranji trophy so that' means he will never get selected that's very sad actually
Robin;s 16 runs of 16 balls when Rohit Scored that momoth 268. He was with Rohit from 100 runs. Yes he is a team man
The point he said about paying more to foreign coaches is true for the English Premier League too.

There will always be region bias in India bcz of different cultures. Captain always prefers players who suits their mindset. I don't say it's wrong though bcz our country is so big and picking 11 is really tough.
South India should be seperate country
Either what Robin is saying or you if you get a chance, you have to be extraordinary talent-wise consistently at what you do like a Ravi Ashwin. Even Ashwin had his struggles and his place was threatened when he had a lean patch. One of the reasons Indian cricket struggles in tournaments.
Robin' s sir attire was so nice that if those are available, definitely I want to buy
Before ganguly, no captain even recruited talents from the eastern India. So before arguing about north v south, the real question should be why the east is less represented

0:32 Couldn't agree more, although most people will vehemently disagree with that.
3:27 I feel just like how Madras Cricket became Tamil Nadu Cricket, Bombay Cricket not becoming Maharashtra Cricket instead of Mumbai Cricket haa been a huge loss for the possibilities Cricket in rest of Maharashtra could have had.
Perform in internationals then everything could be yours 🙌
without seeing this video i would say that BCCI has always been biased and partial towards south players and have only supported north players always and will continue to do so - thats indians for you the only time there were 6players from south in an indian team was when DEVE GOWDA from karnataka was the prime minister of india people should not forget that
Even then most of them were from Karnataka. Guys from Kerala and other states never get any opportunities. Sanju Samson came the closest but he doesn't get regular opportunities.
Its not just Ashwin or Kumble who r engineers , Javagal , Venketesh Prasad r also in the same ranks , in the early days EAS Prassana , Dravid is well qualified too , they had to b top in studies & top in game too .
2:23 and without any Brahmin and Khats, BCCI is the most castest organisation ever existed, if you check the history you can see there has always been 4-5 brahmis in the squad and there was time were out of 11 players 7 wer brahmins which is only 5% of our total population, if BCCI selected players based on skil rather than caste India would have wone the entire world cup and remain top
Didn’t justify the topic, Utthapa changing topics faster than Osho
In the near future we will never see cricketers from the metros. The cricketers will come from remote towns but ofcourse get selected after they relocate to the metros.
There was a time where Indian team had 4 karnataka players like Rahul Dravid, J.sreenath, A.Kumble and Venkatesh prasad. That was the golden era for karnataka players. ❤
I disagree with Robbie, being from his state Karnataka. Many players played for India from Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Where I agree with him is that your team had to win the Ranji Trophy for selectors to notice you in the past. Team with great Ranji Trophy record like Mumbai, Karnataka, Delhi, Tamil Nadu and others have produced good amount of cricketers
Discussion worth listening
I am happy to see energetic Uthappa even after the struggles of not being considered in the Indian squad multiple times. True warriors of an era.
Powerful cricket boards like Tamilnadu, Karnataka has edge over other southern States.Mumbai Delhi other powerful boards.After the arrival of Dhoni state like jharkhand got recognition introduction of IPL many other players got chance in Indian team.
We all need to remember there are only 11 spots in the team for a huge country. So there will be always be players who miss out. Having said that Mumbai always used to get preference specially under biggest politician in Indian Cricket, Sunil Gavaskar. He always played for his own records and gave preferential treatment to Mumbai players.
It's just like these Mumbai cricketers taking over the Indian cricket and it's still going on
Sunil Gavaskar is the greatest opener Test cricket has seen. He played valiantly in Test cricket, carrying his bat several times. Faced the likes of Lillee Thompson, roberts croft, holding marshall, garner with ease, without helmet. Bombay dominated in ranji trophy and deservingly got its players selected.
@@mahanidhibanakar3019 They've got valid reasons though. Mumbai has won 42 Ranji trophies, while no other state has won it even more than 10 times. You can't do politics in winning cricket matches.
@@Sunny-sc5vq ik but u won't get quality cricketers only in Mumbai. BCCI is so weak in exploring.
@@mahanidhibanakar3019 exploration is the reason why so many cricket tournaments are held in India. Ranji trophy isn't the only criteria for showcasing talent. On top of that, the IPL teams have their own scouts that do talent hunting, so that way players can make their name in the IPL and then perform well in local tournaments to get selection in the Indian team.
Cricket Players have got it way better now than they ever had. Be it money wise or facility wise. But at the same time, you've to understand that the indian team has only 11 or 15 spots. Not everyone is going to get a chance to fill that spot. Even most of the mumbai players don't get to play for India.

G R Vishvanath, BS Chandrashekhar, Prasanna, Kirmani, Brijesh Patel, Venkat Raghavan were in one team. Later there was an era when Dravid, Kumble, Srinath, Venky were together. Yet, if you take longer period it is true that N.India had more representation.
Well none from Tamilnadu after Ashwin why not nattu fir bowling in t20 just accept fact that North Indian are biased towards their players and those who speak Hindi
As Robin said matching Mumbai's energy is tough for other states..
It's not about north, south, east and west it's about the skills and hardwork any one puts in the game. And if you really want to ask about a getting representation from the different regions then you should also ask about north east and states like Bihar.
That’s bull shit it’s about licking board members and bring in their good books and Mumbai Delhi punjab lobby is too much
I guess Ranveer is meeting with lot of woke people that is why he is getting such question in his head...within North itself there is less talent coming out of Bihar, Jharkhand, UP, MP while most people are either Gujrati or Marathi...but these are just nonsense question to even ask...where there is better facilities, people will hail from there...question should be why there is no facilities is Jharkhand, Bihar or North East...Is it centre government faults or State government incompetency or lack of vision...
So he explained why Australians are the winner always! Thanks...
How many people from Himachal, Utrakhand, J & K actually played for India ? Or are they not North Indian states
This interview is so important for all who wants to play for the country😂

I don't agree on the Punjab part. I do agree on Delhi and mumbai
It’s absolutely biased towards North Indians. If you are from south, you have to excel like crazy to get a chance. But if you are from North, just good performance would get you a place
Beg to differ with Robin on one point. He mentioned that you have to win Ranji trophy to get noticed. If that is so how many players from vidharbha and MP have been selected though they were Ranji champions two years back.
sai sudarshan took 4 wickets yesterday..
The problem in Southern stats
1. Andhra & Kerala are weak teams. Even Hyderabad is a mediocre team.
2. TN & Karnataka are strong teams. But TN dont have fast bowlers, they only produce spinners & batters...so they are in competion with Mumbai straight away.
3. Karnataka does produce fast bowlers..but after Srinath/Prasad. All the likes of Vinay Kumar, Sreenath Aravind, Abhimanyu Mithun etc were flops in the internationals. Prasidh had some success and was backed, but flopped badly.
KL is the only one who is getting some support.
Anyway North India is such a big geography, except these 4-5 states..everything is clubbed as North India..while in reality Mumbai, MH, Gujrat, WB arent "North India" technically.
Exactly
Least represented is Eastern India. Except Dhoni and Dada no big player given a chance.
This is stupid ...if anything it was always Maharashtra and Karnataka were more
That's the point he made... Karnataka has second highest ranji trophy
Exactly his point
Technically it was not Maharashtra, but Mumbai ( Mumbai cricket association). There are two cricket associations in MH
Pfff that's what he meant bruh what's stupid in it?
Maharashtra has 3 associations@@Snoozefor10minutes
What about EAST Indian?
2 legends (Sourav Ganguly & MS Dhoni), but still not looked upon...why??

People don't get equal representation.
I remember my northie friend saying annamalai can't become pm because he speaks Tamil.
Why is one language ruling the entire country?
I'm from karnataka
But you do know that hindi is understood even by karnataka Andhra telangana. If he can start speaking both hindi and tamil there won't be an issue
pv Narasimha rao was from erstwhile andhra pradesh and he pushed important decisios in indian parliament as pm . There is not much discrimination as told. Its simply a narrative pushed to create more division and get votes
Because people won't be able to relate with him. Most of india speaks Hindi or some form of Hindi that is amalgamated with their own regional language.
How will people relate with anamalai if they don't even understand him?
Edit- you've to understand that Hindi isn't a language restricted to a particular state. It's a language that has connected people from different states. Gujarat has its own language, but the people speak Hindi that is heavily influenced by Gujarati, same goes for Maharashtra, Punjab, Odisha, UP, rajasthan, West Bengal and many other states.
Not everyone had the luxury to study in an English medium school, so Hindi became the connecting language during the early days, and that is why Hindi has a strong influence now.

Robin was great sensation.... He lost his way for changing his batting technique so many times... His coaches spoiled his career... The Robin who use to come and hit big sixes for RCB was best than he opening batting for KKR...
In late 90s at at one point the team had 6 Karnataka players
I think it's about the facilities and coaches. Like in my state uttarakhand I don't think there's not so much academy and etc so basically they move early in childhood to big cities. It's my opinion , same goes for north east and other states i think. I mean like if you have money you wanna join academy obviously you will choose a good and reputed one and that you will find in a metro city. Like i think ayush badoni , pant , Anuj rawat , even dhoni belongs to uttarakhand but they move to big cities just because of facilities. Dhoni is a expectional case here.

First of all people should know south India is not half of India it’s 5 out of 28 states+some UT.
That’s just 30% roughly. And we do feature 1/3rd of team. So the question we get ignore that’s not true
Also people in south don’t see much value in cricket as much as someone in Mumbai. We see more value in other stuff like IT sector that’s our strength and don’t forget North East and some part of south is also more influenced by Football.
Karnataka has been there since 70s.
Fabulous Robin! Kumble, Dravid. Venkatesh etc. atleast had the backing of Gundappa Vishwanath as a selector and their records were showcased well because of that. So the South always needed good influencers, otherwise it has always been difficult for them.
Not only North Indians but also West Indians... they get more chances, more opportunities than the South Indians...... a big example of some discontent especially after us Chennaiites feel so bad even today that..... the BCCI which was first formed in the Madras Presidency was taken away and annexed by Mumbaikars 🤨The ideas are always formed in the South but always lifted / taken away by the North and the West! The Southies have greater knowledge of the game.
One more hard fact. North Indian players are aggressive which is prime need of cricket.
That’s why I stopped loving cricket due to partiality.
Spitting facts!!
I really don't know what Punjabi players Ranvir is talking about. There are so less representatives from Punjab. Its Harbhajan and Yuvi literally started popular punjabi players and now Kohli.

@@Wolverine2601 yes I knew these players. But Many many more south Indians and Maharashtrians represented India from that time.

India has a population of 1.5 billion. When you add the population of Australia, NZ, England, WI, South Africa, Pakistan, Bangladesh, SL, Afghanistan etc even then India has bigger population so in my opinion India should have at least 2 teams competing in ICC events simply because our population is way bigger and that would provide more opportunities to boys in South or East etc.
I would disagree on his Indian coach thing, franchise cricket anywhere shouldn't be restricted on nationality, it should be more widespread. Indian coach thing might be suitable for national teams but ironically 2011 coach was african national.
If IPL teams would set up academies in the coming years I guess we could have a lot of indian coaches for that.
@@ravikiran6281 CSK already has an academy set up and they're setting up academic for their sister franchises in South Africa and the US as well.

@@Snoozefor10minutes I understood that and I feel coaching at IPL is less about improving one's game, there's entire first class game system for that. IPL is more about dealing situations and pressure. Getting guidance from seniors like lara, ponting, langer etc., cant be replaced until some indian senior replaces them (eg. Ganguly for DC). Many teams already have indian subordinates to solve the issues you mentioned.
@@rangergaming8316 Yeah but need all teams to do that and IPL needs to provide incentive for the academies like having 5 U21 academy players in your team.
Mumbai lobby is strongest. Most of the player are in team India.
Having Gora coaches is to ensure these big retired players don't go around bad mouthing the IPL. They actually become the cheerleaders because they are making good money. The day all these foreign coaches are replaced by Indian coaches, the very same guys will play a leading role, backed by their boards, to discredit the IPL.
