News India Live, Digital Desk: When fours and sixes are hit on the cricket field, the enthusiasm is visible not only in the players but also in the anchors and presenters who bring that match to us. India’s famous sports presenter Ridhima Pathak is one such name who is loved by cricket fans. But recently a news came about him which has sparked debate on social media.
The news is that Ridhima Pathak has been removed from the hosting responsibility for the upcoming season of Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2025-26. As soon as this thing came to light, the fans were surprised and many speculations started being made behind it.
What did Ridhima Pathak say? (his reaction)
Ridhima, famous for her outspokenness, has broken her silence on these news and expressed her views. He reacted to reports on social media claiming that he has been ‘dropped’ from BPL. Ridhima said in a very calm manner that being a professional, sometimes things are not as we think. She did not directly accuse anyone, but from her answer it is clear that she is not going to be a part of this league.
What is the real reason behind the controversy?
There is a strong discussion in the cricket circles whether the current political and social tension between India and Bangladesh has now reached the broadcasting rooms of cricket? Many people believe that BPL management probably does not want to see any Indian presenter on screen at this time. However, officially neither the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) nor the production team of BPL has given any concrete reason behind this. Often this is avoided by calling it ‘production change’.
fans’ anger
Ridhima has a good fan following in Bangladesh also. Fans believe that experienced presenters like Ridhima add shine to the league and removing her due to politics is against the spirit of the game. Many posts in support of Ridhima are also being seen on social media.
