Cricketers Face Backlash for Mocking Disabilities in Viral Video

Disability rights groups have criticized Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, and Suresh Raina for mocking people with disabilities in a video. The video, which shows the former cricketers recreating a dance step while imitating physical ailments, was posted on Instagram. Activists demand accountability from the BCCI.

Former cricketers Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, and Suresh Raina are under fire from disability rights groups for a video that allegedly mocks people with disabilities. The video, posted on Instagram, captures the trio mimicking physical ailments while attempting a dance move popularized by actor Vicky Kaushal.

The ex-cricketers shared the video after India's victory over Pakistan in the World Championship of Legends. Their caption hinted at the physical toll of the matches, seemingly trivializing disabilities in the process.

Activists, including the National Platform for the Rights of the Disabled and the National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People, have condemned the video as disgraceful and insensitive, urging the BCCI to take action.
