​ Million Dollar Arm
It makes sense that Hindi-speaking athletes would gravitate towards baseball since there's a team called the Indians.
Racial epithets aside this sports-drama does involve players from India.
When down-and-out sports agent J. B. Bernstein (Jon Hamm) vacillates between a televised cricket match and a singing competition, he formulates a plan to invigorate his firm with talent from India.
Convinced he'll find the next great baseball pitcher through a reality TV show format, J.B. enlists a cantankerous scout (Alan Arkin) to be a judge in the competition.
Eventually, J.B. discovers two worthy candidates (Suraj Sharma, Madhur Mittal) and ships them back to America to try out for the majors.
Based on a true story, Million Dollar Arm is a boilerplate feel-good Disney sports movie that concludes as expected, with no complexity or ingenuity required.
On a related note, females traveling to India alone should always bring a baseball bat with them.
