Cricket Crazy nation IndiaIndia is also known as place to have unity in diversity.
People following many different cultures, religions and with different beliefs live here. Apart from being resident of one political place Cricket is also one of the factors which unite all these people.
Every Indian is crazy about it whether he or she is resident of Thar Desert or dwelling in rainy hills of Assam.
The sound of ”Thud” which originates when a ball is hit by bat charms a magical spell over entire nation and magic increases manifolds when the bat is in hands of “The Lord of Cricket” Sachin Tendulkar. It is hard to say since when Indians are crazy about this game but as a matter of fact it is liked by Britishers also we could guess this game could have been brought to India with them.
Being such a popular sport in India it is almost impossible to measure its popularity. We can say as football is popular in brazil so is cricket in India.
It can be said that after the winning of 1983 world cup Indians were crazier about it as compared to earlier times.
The passion of cricket among Indians has brought fortunes to many players and have been a life changing experience for people like Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Virendra Sehwag Tendulkar and M.S. Dhoni. Apart from earings generated by the game these people earn more by advertisements and brand endorsements
Selection of someone in national 11 is like reaching gates of heaven. To enter in this team one has to perform hard at school level, district level, and on selection in Ranji Team of state means you are almost there.
But cricket also suffered setbacks when there were episodes of match fixing and players like Azharuddin and Jadeja faced lifetime bans.
Still Cricket has overshadowed the national game of India Hockey.
