A squabble between the Bombay Gymkhana, a club of only whites, and Parsi cricketers cropped up over the use of a public park. The Parsis complained about the bad condition of the park as the polo ponies of the Bombay Gymkhana dug up the surface.When it was obvious that the colonial authorities were biased against the Parsis, they built their own Gymkhana to play cricket in. Consequently, this rivalry led to the establishment of the first non-white cricket club of India by the Parsis, the Oriental Cricket Club in Bombay in 1848.
