Star Sports, the official broadcaster of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, has sparked anger among fans due to a new segment in which female presenters were seen judging male cricketers based on their lo??oks.

The segment featured popular host Mayanti Langer and three other female anchors – Jaiti Khera, Nashpreet Kaur and Ayushi Shekhawat – who were shown photos of cricket stars and asked to determine if they were “Hot or Not” by swiping left or right in a simulated Tinder-like?? setup.

The controversial segment, which aired during the IPL 2023 coverage, included photos of prominent IPL cricketers such as Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill and Andre Russell.

During the show, Mayanti can be heard expressing her disapproval, remarking, “this is so not age appropriate,” when asked to rate? Gill, who is just 23 years old.

In another part of the segment, West Indies all-rounder Dre Russ appeared on the screen, and Nashpreet commented, “I like the muscles, swipe right.”

Twitter users captured the videos and shared the clips on social media, expressing their outrage at the concept of the game. One user criticized Star Sports India, stating: “Is this a cricket-related show or what… Star Sports, you are a disgrace.”

I'm told some cricket telecast revolved around female anchors rating players on whether they're "hot" or "not".

I sincerely hope that's not true. Else, it's the pits.

Trying to be "cool" has its limits.

Star with their 'Hot or Not' segment in today's pre-match show clearly embarrassed themselves.

Imagine asking a senior anchor and married woman like Mayanti Langer to pick sides for a junior fellow like Shubman Gill. She was clearly uncomfortable. #NotDone#IPL2023

What is this @Sanjog_G

Just reverse the situation with male anchors rating female cricket players and we will have a sexual harassment and objectifi??cation allegation ready??.

Star Sports is in a deep mess //t.co/XHcSWBEpd1

RCB couldn’t play their best cricket on Thursday

While Kohli’s cheerful mood was visible ahead of the match, RCB couldn’t perform well in the game against KXIP. After opting to bat first, the Challengers batting line-up failed to capitalise on a good start in the middle-overs. Kohli, in his 200th game for RCB, scored 48 runs off 39 balls but couldn’t up the ante when the team needed. In-form AB de Villiers was sent to bat to number six which left many baffled.

Even with the ball, apart from Chris Morris, no other bowler looked effective. The match did go to the last over, but RCB were behind in the game throughout, and the fact they could p??ick only two wickets tells the whole story.
