‘Girlfriend Culture’ Under Scanner as BCCI Eyes New Rules
The BCCI is planning to take some actions on the girlfriend culture in the matches. Players bring their girlfriend to watch the games, as they support their lovers from the stands. But the BCCI reportedly wants to take action against it, before anything serious happens.
Watching a cricket match has been wholesome for the Indian fans, as they even get to witness the happiness of a player's girlfriend, who is sitting in the stands. But that may not be the case anymore, as the BCCI is now planning to take some strict actions on the same. For a long time, players have been allowed to have their girlfriends visit the venue and even join them in the celebrations.
Now, the BCCI is planning to bring down some rules for the same. It is being reported that the rules would change things, and even restrict the access for players' girlfriends to access the field. The reports also say that this culture is likely to take place because the board is unhappy with the things which are taking place in the IPL.
Frequently, fans have spotted players with their girlfriends outside the venue or even with them in the team hotel rooms. This has taken over the internet by a storm, and players do end up receiving backlash from the fans if they are not able to do well. So, the BCCI is thinking of taking some strict actions on this, before anything serious happens during or after the tournament.
Our Take
The girlfriend culture has mainly been highlighted due to frequent appearances of players such as Hardik Pandya, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Arshdeep Singh, and more, with their girlfriends. These players have taken over the internet with a storm, all because they were spotted with their girlfriends during the tournament. The decision by the BCCI in this case is likely to be finalised within a few days, but it has received mixed reactions. Some fans are saying that this action will make the IPL players more like schoolboys.
