Ranji Trophy: The players of Jammu and Kashmir, who reached the finals after performing brilliantly in the Ranji Trophy, have to travel in e-rickshaws. After defeating Bengal in the semi-finals in Kolkata, Kashmiri players were seen traveling by e-rickshaw. A picture of a player went viral on social media, after which questions are being raised on BCCI. The question is, why are the players having to see such a day in the domestic tournament of the world's richest cricket board?

Why are players of Jammu and Kashmir traveling by e-rickshaw?

Bengal and Jammu and Kashmir competed in the Ranji Trophy at the Bengal Cricket Academy in Kalyani. Let us tell you that this academy is just 500 meters away from the hotel of the players of Jammu and Kashmir. The interesting thing here is that the players themselves take e-rickshaw to the hotel. A journalist has claimed that BCCI is not at fault here because every team has a bus but when there is some delay, the players leave on their own wish by catching an e-rickshaw. It was also claimed that when Ishan Kishan played matches on this ground, he also used to go to the hotel in a similar e-rickshaw.

The hotel where they were staying is just 500 meters away from the ground. The teams have been provided a bus but players sometimes don't want to wait and the easiest way to the hotel is an e-rickshaw. Even Ishan Kishan took one when he was playing there. https://t.co/eYyUotIBtb
