Indian Cricket!!! :) :(

Well India ne chak diya!! The recent T20 world cup title brought life to many of the die hard cricketers and their fans after they were kicked out of the world cup much earlier this year. It has been great to see the aggressive and passionate young blood turning the stones over after their defeat by New Zealand in the T20. Their effort and hard work helped them trample over few of the best nations in the cricketing field. I find no more peace nor calmness in our cricketers....they have all been pumped up with fire and have been reflecting the same in their game. But I think this is not the end but it's just the beginning. The expectations of all the Indian supporters have rouse and they would be expecting a really good fight between the past and the present champions in the present ongoing Future cup.

In view of the reception that the Dhoni boys got when they set their foot on the homeland after owning the very first T20 cup, I guess it was just awesome.. Truly cricket seems to be the favourite son of Mother India but as people of this nation we also need to consider the other sports which have been getting second degree treatment from the people as well as the Government of different states. India takes pride in producing some of the most brilliant sportsmen ever, be it Vishwanath Anand who just earned back his world chess championship title after seven years or the prodigious talented billiards champ Pankaj Advani or Rajyavardhan Rathore the shooting hero or the Football champions or the (national game) Hockey players or many more unlucky chaps.. I can bet that very few know about these men and their achievements..I say they are unlucky coz they get the recognition and praise from other nations who realize the importance of their sport and their performance while neglected and ignored at their home..It is a shame to all of us and the press specially if we are blind to these wonderful men of our land. They definitely deserve more than what they have been receiving or in fact are receiving.

There can be two outcomes of all that is happening. One is that the other sportsmen can get discouraged and their performance could go down lack of support. Two they would continue to fight back with fire and silence the officials with their dazzling performances in the forth coming tournaments. I know that cricket brings in lotsa profits and that BCCI is the richest in the world. This must throw a call for all the other associations to fasten their belts and get things going. They need to render support no matter what and see that their cream gets the best support and encouragement.

Coming to our "dear sport" cricket I wish that they continue winning laurels for India..else the same pomp and the enthusiasm of the fans here would become history and they would no longer continue to grab the attention of theirs. May they fight fire with fire not only in words but also in actions to prove that we can be consistent winning champions.

And let us all patronize all the other sports heroes of the nation who have been getting step motherly treatment, with much fairness and unbiased love just to lift up our country to higher grounds in the world of sports!!
