    • The 4% brahmins in India have on an average more than 70% representation in the cricket teams. The rest are occupied by other upper caste fellows like the jat Kapil dev, Yuvaraj Singh, Mongia, Rajputs Ajay Jadeja, Chethan Chauhan, Upper caste khatri sikhs Sidhu, B S Bedi, Harbhajan Singh.



    • MS Dhoni (C)
    • Virat Kohli (VC)
    • Shikhar Dhawan
    • Rohit Sharma
    • Suresh Raina
    • Ajinkya Rahane
    • Ambati Rayudu
    • Stuart Binny
    • Gurkeerat Singh Mann
    • Axar Patel
    • R Ashwin
    • Harbhajan Singh
    • Amit Mishra
    • Bhuvneshwar Kumar
    • Mohit Sharma
    • Umesh Yadav

    See the names in the black all are Brahmins and others from other upper caste like M S DHONI is a rajput.

    This bias has been there since Indians started to play cricket. During the British era only the people from royal family were allowed to play or it is would be more accurate to say that they could afford to play.
