Mumbai Indians cricket team needs to look at this too :P

No, I think because blackface is based on a history of non-inclusion. White people were never denied parts because they were white and subsequently had black people paint their face white to play those roles. So the offensive factor just isn't there to a white person. That's african american specific though.
I don't know how it would align with painting a face red at an Indians game (do people really do that? Or just put on warpaint?) I just think in general it's not a good idea to paint your face to present yourself as a historically marginalized group.
