Cricket Flavour In Telangana Politics: What’s Up?

Cricket and politics are two of the most prominent and significant platforms in India. There is generally a lot of interest associated with cricketers and politicians in the country and in accordance, we often see cricketers leaning towards politics after their cricketing careers.

A similar observation can be made in connection with Telangana politics. We have a couple of cricketers in the current political scene in the state and here is a look into the story.

Notably Huzurabad MLA, Padi Kaushik Reddy, who had represented the Hyderabad Ranji team is a part of the BRS party, and he has an active representation in Telangana Assembly. He is quickly turning out to be one of the most aggressive politicians in Telangana. 

And now we have the case of former team, India captain Mohammad Azharuddin, who has been appointed as a Cabinet minister by the Congress government in Telangana. This is one of the most discussed political gameplays done by chief minister Revanth Reddy in recent times.

The representation of these two reputed cricketers in Telangana politics is a rare successful interlude of politics and cricket.
