It is only polite to answer back in the language the question is asked. Can understand westerners asking questions in English as it's the only language they mostly understand. If the likes of Ramiz and Shastri want answers in their own language then they should ask the question in that one.
Actually Shastri talks Hindi/Marathi to Indian players during presentation in Indian bilaterals, especially to guys who are weak at English like Jadeja and Umesh etc.
But then he goes full ret@rd and talks Hindi to Ashwin of all people !
I can't stand it when Indians try and speak english tbh. It sounds like someone destroying the beauty of English one word at a time and i always wished they had more pride in speaking their own national language but apparently they don't have one.
Yeah, so the Irish, Scots, Aussies and Jamaicans are all speaking pure Shakespearean stuff I suppose.
Indian team has many sikhs- dhawan, kohli, yuvraj, bumrah, dhoni and no Muslims
Kohli and Dhawan are
punjabi Hindus, not Sikhs. They have the Punjabi culture in spades though. Yuvi, Harbhajan have been the only sikhs in recent times. Shami, Irfan, Parvez rasool have all been muslims.
The only valid accusation towards Indian cricket is the lack of representation from the
North East, but the BCCI does very little to grow the game there . SO it's a blemish on the whole of India.
From what I understand, English has an official status as the joint national language particularly in India, and to a lesser extent in Pakistan; and English is understood and spoken in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh as well. Not everything has to be based around a colonial hangover.
English was the
No-nonsense option when choosing
a commonly acceptable language. It was alien to all Indians.
Pakistan did the same with
Urdu, which is actually a language from Uttar Pradesh in India. It wasn't spoken
anywhere in present pakistan pre-independence.
If you were to go by the "most spoken" metric either
Punjabi or
Bengali should've been the national language of Pakistan.
