Weak delete - unfortunately WP:CRIN isn't very helpful on teams and is poorly written. This type of team would not be automatically included, as I read it, but would also not be automatically excluded. WP:NSPORTS makes no ruling one way or the other, so we come down to WP:ORG. There is clearly some coverage of the team in the Indian press. That coverage is more than just routine mentions in lists, but I'm not convinced that I see enough in-depth coverage to meet WP:ORG. Although it's close. I would suggest a total rewriting of WP:CRIN - the teams section at least - would help to add clarity to this sort of situation.

Keep - To apply WP:CRIN to a reality TV cricket team is not judicious. Agree with @Blue Square Thing: that the correct criteria for deletion that applies is WP:ORG not WP:CRIN. The subject matter meets - even if marginally - all WP:ORGCRITE criteria. Correct remedy is to attach tags to improve, not delete.Deccantrap (talk) 15:48, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
