what do u mean by no sponsors pls ....indian cricket team was ranked 8th in WC ...and there are only 9 teams who play some good cricket ...

Sania, Saina and Anup are not hype ...they are among top 50 when at their level this game is played by more than thousand persons at a high level

give other players their due ...and if can't give sponsorship then at least respect them for what they achieve ...if u wd hav played any of this game, then u wd know the effort put by these players

so pls shut up and let us enjoy the great feat achieved by Anup

cont....
so many years passed ...inspite of all the hyped players like sachin and saurav, we never won WC ...when there is so much promotion of cricket ...why don't u go and tell those sponsors not to go to them, when they can't enter into the last eight in last WC ...now they are beating depleted English side with the help of nature god and lowly scots

stupid do u want me to give u a count of how many tournaments sachin has single handedly won for india? leave world cup is that the only tournament in the world. when have sania, saina or anup even won a single tournament? don't even compare them with an icon like sachin who is inspiration to millions in his generation not only as a cricketer but a true and humble sportsman. heck, even if anup is asked who he admires, he will have sachin in his mind.

its not me but u who needs to shut up coz u don't understand a thing abt not only cricket but sports in general.

Overhype didnot do any harm to Sania.
She could achieve what other Indians cudnt acheive in international sports. U may name Pullela Gopichand who was overhyped and killed my media.
