Every cricket match is a high voltage drama in India. World
cup matches are really lightening thunderous of sixes & fours. Sachins,
Dhonis, Kohlis are demi-gods. Every scent to automobile, rides on the
popularity on the stars appearing on the screen with the products &
services on display.
Ever since the toothy grin of the devil team descended on the
English soil in 1983, India got bitten by the mad cricket disease. Cricket is
no more a sport & players does not play for the spirit of the game. Every
cricket win is the win for consumer goods market deep in to the gullys of
villages. Every Miss World title increases the cosmetic sales in the sunny dark
skinned population.
More the logos of the companies adored the uniforms of the
players, cricket is lot played behind the screens. What was once a team game
became a one man super star games, who will appear on your TV screen to
motivate on your health drink in the morning, the phenol you have to use in
your toilet basin, your tooth paste to shoe polish. Advertisement agencies
decide the tenure of the cricketer's cricket life span based on the sales of
the products he could promote in the prime time. 
IPL, has been the open admission by the Cricket control in
India, it is the money that matters. A captain is open for admission in new
team even when his team is banned from the event for wrong doings. Even the
Supreme Court finds that there is something severely wrong with the institution
& constitution of this body says the volume of money & corruption in
this sport which went beyond control.
Court went on to appoint a non-cricketer to set the house in order.
Hammering received at the hands of a straight forward, No-super
star team of New Zealand is a real blessing for the cricket crazy nation.
Anything in excess which goes over board is a disease. Cricket lost its charm
of a Gentleman game, became a centre of attraction for many seasoned
politicians wanting to be part of this institution speaks volumes of pockets it
could grease in beyond the crease.
Kane Williamson, looks very simple, doesn't swear at
opponents, never boasts or does chest thumps at the fall of a wicket. Century
or a wicket, win or a loss is accepted with limited expressions, with a game
played to truest spirit. In Contrast there is a head coach for the Indian team
who boasts of producing the best ever team in the world of super stars. Even after Rafael Nadal's 12th clay title at
Roland Garros his coach didn't even boast of best ever tennis player he has
produced.
India, the land of Bhagavad Gita, expects the win or loss to
be treated with equal charm in perfect poise of calmness finds that in that
grey bearded simple son of cricket from the land expected to have a zeal. Williamson is the perfect leader to look at
to bring semblance for balanced cricket especially for his U-19 world cup
compatriot opponent.
Let us play the sport for the spirit of the Game.
So the Fans !!! don't fall the pray for the consumeristic bait kept for you in the form of a cricketer.
Let us end the fanaticism & just be the true lover of the game.
