India's Cricket Power: From Teacher to Global Bully
India is now very powerful in cricket, making some people worried.
They are concerned that the BCCI is now acting like England and Australia used to, when they controlled the sport and weren't always fair to other countries.
India has a lot of money and power, but some people feel that they are not helping the sport or other teams as much as they should, and are just looking out for themselves.
People criticize these actions and want India to be more respectful and help out other teams.
