One more good thing happened to the cricket crazy nation - Only 85,000 die hard cricket fans watched the T20 Cricket world Cup 2022 Final on TV. Many didnt know what the COOK was cooking but everyone could see what a BUTLER and his men could deliver on plate in the semi finals and the Finals.
Already many cricket pundits have asked for the heads to roll on for the defeat of India in semi finals and Pakistan in Final.
The failure of Indian cricket team to win a world cup for a long time is mainly due to the high pressure hype created by the Marketing machinery of the cricket administration. Media wanted to stroke the nationality passion of the fans and capitalise on the selling their products by catching the eye balls.
TV Channels always makes India Vs Pakistan Men cricket matches as wars between two nations. Stroking nationalism in sports is causing causalities on sportsmanship.
Yes, Cricket is one zing thing that connects the nation in one thread but let us not over stretch it.
Today's Cricket analysts - ex-cricketers like Sunil Gavaskar or Virendra Sehwag are criticizing the attitude and choking nature of present cricketers. But gentlemen, look at your back, Gavaskar failed in 1987 world cup semi finals, Sehwag failed to win for the nation in 2003 Final. Only in 1983, 2007- the then Captains could inspire and were not expected to win the tournament and so they could win. In 2011, it had many controversies and conspiracy theories surrounding the win.
We as a nation, are putting our bets on making hero worships and expecting One man to demolish the entire opposition like a Rajinikanth Movie. It is easy for Neeraj Chopra to win the first Medal and it will be too difficult the 2nd one as the sponsors start lining up thier doors and money showering makes the athlete come under intense pressure and scrutiny which many human minds will not be able to sustain.
The consistent teams, who could win repeated tournaments or matches are because of collective brilliance and contributions by many players. Hero worship culture, could only make few billionaires like Tendulkar , Kohli etc....who could own ferrari cars, private jets. It is time we stop this madness.
Sports fundamental priority is for physical and mental health. The England team could win the Title as they had 11 batsmen and 7 bowlers, whereas Indian team always dependent on Individual brilliance.
Many had wondered what could have been a Indian team, had not the English Butcher Mountbatten split the country in to two. Sachin to Pound and Wasim Akram to impound, Kohli on meat and Shaheen Afridi to mat. May be we can even our dream to add Rashid Khan and Shakib ul Hasan as Indian spinners to choke the middle overs. Had not been Mountbatten, Indian Cricket Team would have been a Mount to be beaten, that too by a team of Butler, rather a defining moment under the Rishi Sunak governance, who has a Indo-Pak roots but Only in England he could win.
Now T20 is over it is time for G20 and Mr. Modi is travelling to attend in Bali, the Only Hindu state in a Muslim Country, Indonesia, Today.
