IPL 2025 star Sudharshan ignored by media: regional bias or oversight?

Sudharshan, a standout performer in IPL 2025, amassed 759 runs, outscoring renowned players like Surya Kumar Yadav (717 runs) and Virat Kohli (657 runs). Despite this, mainstream media largely overlooked his achievements.

Originating from Tamil Nadu, Sudharshan's stellar performance has sparked debate on possible regional bias in media coverage. Social media users argue that if Sudharshan were from North India, he would have received extensive praise and recognition.

This perceived disparity highlights ongoing concerns about equitable media representation in Indian cricket. Fans and commentators alike question whether regional affiliations influence the visibility and celebration of players' successes.

"Many social media users are commenting that the very same mainstream media would’ve praised the same cricketer to the sky if he was a North Indian," reflecting widespread sentiment.

Sudharshan's case underscores the need for balanced media attention that fairly acknowledges talent across all regions, ensuring that outstanding performances are celebrated regardless of origin.

IPL 2025 star Sudharshan from Tamil Nadu scored 759 runs, surpassing stars like Surya Kumar Yadav and Virat Kohli, yet received little mainstream media attention. Social media suggests regional bias, noting North Indian players often get more praise.
