While India stayed up till late on a Sunday night, trying to catch a glimpse of Dipa Karmakar – the first Indian female gymnast to qualify for the Olympics – there was disappointment in store.

Disappointment not owing to her performance, but because of the wink-and-you’ll-miss-it coverage she got on Star Sports India.

Naturally, Twitterati took to social media to express their displeasure with the official broadcaster of the Rio Olympics in India.

Some even called the channel ‘anti-Indian’ and joked (hopefully) that they would be banned by Arvind Kejriwal!

Take a look.
