On the left is Nikhil Ravishankar. He went to school in New Zealand, worked all his life in NZ. Yet in 2025 when he was appointed CEO of Air New Zealand, the wave of online racism directed at him became such a tsunami that the country's 3 leading media outlets, the New Zealand Herald, 1News and Radio New Zealand, had to shut down their comments section. The sheer volume of racist comments made it impossible for moderators to do their job. It was like half the population of New Zealand had decided to be racist on Ravishankar.
On the right is Air India’s current CEO - New Zealander Campbell Wilson whose appointment in 2022 attracted no such backlash in India. Wilson hails from Christchurch, arguably the most racist city in New Zealand.
@Sharanyashettyy Tilak is also from Mumbai so that’s the link. Patidar ideally should be the captain considering only IPL yardstick but mumbaikar Iyer took the helm, who lost 6 consecutive matches and surrendered IPL season from winning position for Punjab. strange times
Sanju Samson gave everything for India in T20 cricket and played his part in the World Cup-winning campaign.
Watching him get ignored in captaincy discussions while others get direct opportunities is genuinely painful. 💔
