Star Sports, broadcaster for the Indian Premier League, has been slammed by cricket fans after a new segment showing women TV hosts rating male cricketers based on their looks was aired.
Host Mayanti Langer and three other female presenters played along in a Tinder-style segment in which a series of photos of IPL stars were shown and they were asked whether they would swipe right or left.
Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill and Andre Russell were among the cricketers featured in the controversial segment that aired during Star Sports' coverage of the IPL.
The presenters 'swiped left' on Kohli, meaning they rejected the India batsman, said Gill was 'too young' but complimented Russell on his muscular physique.
