Pakistani Player Plays for "India", Sparks Backlash | First Sports With Rupha Ramani 

India and Pakistan’s sporting relationship is under fresh strain after Pakistani kabaddi player Ubaidullah Rajput represented a team named “India” at a private tournament in Bahrain. It quickly escalated into a political flashpoint when visuals of Rajput wearing Indian colours and waving the Indian flag went viral. With backlash erupting in Pakistan and the Pakistan Kabaddi Federation promising disciplinary action, the episode highlights how fragile cross-border sporting ties have become—especially in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack. Rupha Ramani breaks down what really happened, why the reaction was so severe, and how sport between the two nations is now inseparable from politics, perception and pressure.
