I agree entirely. The cricket team makes unbelievable amount of money & they don't need the patronage from politicians to win a match for their country. The victory was awesome and millions of tax payers enjoyed it & added to the TRP a part of which goes to the players booty. We don't need to spend on the players instead if the politicians are so keen on sports they should invest in sports infrastructure. It seems that this is the easy way out, just dole out some money & forget about the rest. As far as religion goes, some still swallow down the poison served by some politicians & is abetted by the media through reports such as these. Of course it does not help that the captain speaks utter nonsense after his team played like champions. Obviously it was a good gamble from the above mentioned politicians, out to disrupt a perfect evening. And more pathetic is the way millions swallow the same & is intoxicated to react on the same.
