It is true that we in Indian treat CRICKET like a religion!Hence it is normal to have demi gods! It is often seen that one good innings by any cricketer makes him an INSTANT HERO (MSD, UTHAPPA, DINESH KAARTHICK etc), thanks to the so-called MINDLESS cricket experts employed by the media! In their quest to make sensational stories and earn credit lines they make SPECULATIVE new stories and POINTLESS DISCUSSIONS and glorify cricket (at last it is just a sport)! Becuase this MEDIA HYPE we have millions of FAN FOLLOWING and today CRICKET has not remained a SPORT anymore in India! Seeing this opportunity commercial organizations have EXPLOITED CRICKETERS to be the brand ambassadors! Due to this INDIAN CRICKETERS are RICHEST in the world and have hence become unprofessional and arrogant! We must therefore understand that there are many DIMENTIONS to this sport in India! The early exit of INDIA from the World Cup have many repurcassions but at the end we ALL must equal responsibilty for the same! The Captain, the rest 10 players, Coach & Support Staff, Ad agencies, The Media and of course the fanatic Indian cricket audiance! Unless and until we treat CRICKET to be a professional sport in India we can not achieve much! When will India rule the world of cricket like the erstwhile West Indies or the current Australia??
Let us STOP being HYPOCRATIC! Unless and until we chaneg our ATTITUDE towards this SPORT there are no bright days for INDIAN CRICKET!
