Why is Anushka Sharma at the very front of the picture,with the rest of the team and officials?Why is the Vice-Captain at the very back?And why is she the only WAG present?

First Lady of Indian Cricket.

 

[boomboomcheema]

I can't see Ashwin there. Who is the Vice Captain?

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

These clothes tho... 80s bollywood movie villains' style

Only Ishant and Kuldeep Yadav (guy in front of Bumrah right?) looking smooth!

Ajinka Rahane.

Ashwin is also there at the back.

The Bollywoodization of cricket is a plague.

Tells you the story when Bollywood needs cricket for marketing and publicity, but never the other way around.

 

[Rafa]

Lol it seems like it's a wedding of Virat and Anushka while others are the guests.

 

[King-Misbah]

Who cares? May be everyone insisted as she was present.

 

[Hitman]

I find it extremely strange as well. Well, maybe she was invited. That's the only logical reason I can think of.

 

[Itachi]

It's indian tradition. Giving respect to bhabiji.

 

[cricketjoshila]

This is a Indian High Commision event and not a BCCI event. She is a Indian celebrity and not just a WAG.

 

[Couch Cricketer]

Yeah she probably was invited as herself not as Kohli's wife

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

Since BCCI has tweeted it, seems an event in which team members and their wives were invited.

Also, all other guys are bachelors (seemingly)

Not really. Quite a few of them are married. Rohit and Dhawan are 2 names that comes into my mind.

I think its more to do with 'Modi-nisation' that is taking place in India then anything to do with Bollywood. Modi's trademark waistcoat is making its way everywhere.

 

[Syed1]

Seems unfair to the wives/significant others of other cricketers. These small things are insignificant on face value but add to disharmony and ill-will within the team.

Modi started using these coats only recently while my family has been wearing these since generations including achkan etc .

Kabhi aao Jodhpur khushbu laga ke.

I was joking to another poster in another thread that Pakistanis brood about Modi 9 hours a day. I now revise that upward to 12 hours a day.

Coz she's the skipper's spouse so all rules can be broken Let them Bollywoodize their Cricket until the cow's come home that in the long run could become a major problem. Soon Kohli could be making his Bollywood debut The costumes seem very outdated as if they are attending some "mushaira"

To a commoner. Yes

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Because she has a habit of poking her nose everywhere these days. I thought BCCI banned WAGs from England tour?

 

[MenInG]

Kindly keep personal stuff off this thread.

 

[Mp812]

Making a controversy of nothing. Anoushka is Indian celebrity in her own right. If the Indian consulate put her on the list she attended. And as for appearing in photo it is not a official bcci team picture .

Why so harsh? Let it be.

Dinesh Kartik's wife is a well known person by herself. Why was she not invited?

Nobody apart from a few Tamil geeks knows about her.
Anushka is world famous in India.

Yes but still less famous than Deepika and Sanja bhansali of Padmavati Fame.

Heh? Who's she?

 

[imrankhannsu]

Didnt realise cheer leaders were allowed in group photos
