India, a vast country, with several religions and tons of cultural traditions. A great country with exceeding population of over a billon heads, with 28 states (some are bifurcated), and a great zeal in the sporting activities.
A man is being asked in Mumbai that what sports is in his opinion, reply… cricket, obviously. Kids outside of house enjoying some outdoor games, actually not some but as a common banality, only one so-called cricket. At small kiosks people conglomerated just to do what?.............. Bidi, Gutkha and cricket, a simple reply occurs. That’s their devotion to the game disregarding all significant work or errands. Only one theme in India prevails about sports and that is cricket. Do you see how much affectionate the public is towards cricket? Some people commit suicides Mera Bharat Mahan loses matched consecutively and incessantly. Some cheer up more exultantly when India wins even in any ordinary match rather then his own son is getting married. Could you contemplate that how much Indian people are caring about cricket that it goes over the personal frolic? All over these, on the contrary, Indian team performs so absurdly regardless what the aim is that one could give opinion so scornfully and sarcastically in any circumstance.
We just won a test match in a foreign country after a long period of 15 years, isn’t that cool? It’s just shameful that having experience in the sport of cricket for almost seventy years internationally, we still take hundreds of months to win only one test in a foreign country.
Look at a cool presentation against West Indies despite playing in India. It was also kind of miserable. In the test series, versus New Zealand, we lose because the cold weather is impertinent to us. In the one-day series we do even worse than that. In the mini-world cup or whatever transpired recently in Colombo was the only one commendable incident out of bunch of others. At that instance, people presumed that if Indian keeps doing the same it had done in Colombo, there are better potentials to win the world cup for us in South Africa. However, people obliviously can’t remember Diwali, Eid, or Christmas comes only once in a year.
In India, if I am not wrong at least 35% is necessary in order to pass grade. In the New Zealand series, we only have acquired 28% (2 out of 7), which is flunking. We dream for a distinction, nonetheless, that motto demands very drastically for discrete work which is not our business, I believe. Descrying all the consequences of insofar happened cricket matches that India has participated, you will definitely come up with an ensuing report that Indian loses more than it wins. Politically, a party in minority is good for nothing. It is destructive more than productive.
Leading cricket team of India, the Bengali tiger must be tired; especially he turns out to be a mushy character of a feared cat making a run or two. Think about cricket players’ stipends. They make more than Rs. 25,000 for one ODI. If the whole team gets out in 122 like the last match and taking only first six players as batsmen, each run costs Rs. 1229.51 that is just a lot. Think about all the anticipation that zillions of people keep in their mind about India’s play and the outcome is just disgusting and totally bizarre.
The thing what I want to behold precisely and enlighten everyone about contingently that India really is a dud. Fiasco is the reality for it and failure or washout is a common routine for the crew. I don’t just deprecate India in the field of cricket. I am sure that majority of cricketers could play well and profoundly. If they wish, India could be the strongest and most pertinacious team to defeat. If all there is feasible and pragmatic, then what is the main cause that effects often negatively to the Indian cricket team? Whose fault is that? BCCI’s or cricketers? Is that any panacea for that or not?
