Netizens were left fuming after Star Sports, the TV broadcaster of IPL 2023, televised a show where female anchors were asked to rate shirtless pics of male cricketers. The distasteful show by Star Sports involved pictures of IPL stars like Andre Russell and Shubman Gill, among others, with the female anchors rating them as 'Hot or Not'. Clips of the show have gone viral, drawing the ire of fans and journalists alike, who have slammed the same for objectifying male cricketers. Here are some of the reactions by netizens.

Distasteful and Cringe
Tag this idiot broadcaster @StarSportsIndia, @SonySportsNetwk was far better than this shit channel.
Imagine male anchor in place of female and female cricketer photos being displayed on the screen.
Hot or Not ??? Wtf is this, sexually objectifying a person. How cringe is this.
