IPL ..end of good cricket era |
19:18
It was all started in
the year 1999 I was only 7 year old, people watching a cricket match a tense
environment all where, it was a match between Pakistan and Australia world cup final,
since I was a child I do not know about any rules in fact I was seeing my first
match with the family members first time, I remember waqar younis wasim akram
bowling in speed and as India was already out so people are supporting for Asia,
the cricket was so good at that time it was the era of Steve waugh mark
waugh, gillespie,macgrath people were supporting country supporting continent and
supporting world, Australia won the world cup next day it was celebration in
near the houses .this story just say about how much cricket has the importance
in our country, people neglect their offices, their schools, their shop, their
work only to see a single match.
In India cricket is a
religion and of course sachin tendulkar is god of this religion, after watching
the first match soon I got interest in this game too, was started playing with
some of elder brother in gully cricket, in school ground, in the house, started
watching the perfect players in Indian time, watched the best innings of sourav ganguly(183),sachin tendulkar (186) and each time century partnership with
dravid I was loving the batting style of virender sehwag , I was loving the way
ganguly made India to the finals of 2003.
The duration was of
only four years but I learned a lot about cricketing system in india ,I was
loving the captaincy of gangly ,how the way he leads the team, how the way his
aggression makes opposition in fear ,how the lords got terrified after the
action or moment he created after won and give the answer to flintoff ,I loved
each inning I had seen for gangly.
Then it comes to
tendulkar and dravid I remember they are the players of terrific style of
batting and they are now too, I loved the batting style of lara, afridi, hayden,
gilcrist, jayasuria they were the most desirable mens.it was a time when shane warne
and mutthaiya murlitharan ruling the spin department in the world and harbhajan
and kumble doing for india, it was a time when zaheer khan was famous for his Yorkers
and chaminda vaas ,shaun Pollack for the best deliveries, I can’t forget to
discuss kallis,boucher,beven for the services they served to the cricket, the
days when players play for their country and for the cricket.
Then it comes to IPL Indian
premier league and everything ends when auction takes place players were sold
like tomato,potato,everything got ends they sold for the money by the bcci,the
late night parties comes into rule, the players who were playing for the
country are playing for club for some rupees they can enjoy with, the welcome
of cheerleaders destroyed the culture of India , the franchises forced player
to play good else they will not put money on them, then there were some discrepancies
got in which lalit modi lost his chair now people are playing for the money
,players like sreesanth wants that betting must be legal in India also, the
students and office workers gambling their money got after higher work and
losing , winning on the matches, can anybody imagine a player who played world
cup final for country and in the winning squad will be in the jail, I totally
agree with the point that ipl brings a lot of bad habits in the market of cricket,
old players will always be in the memory but what about next generation.20-20
cricket has disturbed their style of batting in some matches they are best in
other season they are flop. a lot of matches played by them is the cause of this,
new breed of cricketers know only about money and enjoyment they play for the
ipl not for country ,they can sold their skills for some rupees like chandila
did and ends his career vindu dara Singh also involved in the racket and may
be some other name from bollywood will come forward and destroy the expectation
of fans, lets see in the few years where this ipl will take the Indian and
world cricket.

ReplyDeleteyup mysay.in,its ridiculous to see that people having already plenty of money and to earn more they indulge themselves in bad activities and which cause nothing but demolish our expectations .
DeleteYes the cricket culture in Indian has got a serious setback. Since 2001 when Ganguly became captain and team had great players like Sachin, Dravid, VVS and Kumble , Indian cricket saw its golden period when India achieved prestigious overseas test victories with the label of home tigers with them like drawn series in Australia, winning series in England , Pakistan, West Indies and Newzealand. With the rise of IPL test cricket got cornered as there is no glamour and popcorn entertainment attached to it. In post IPL period Indian has not achieved any great overseas victory apart from drawing series in test series against SA and winning CB ODI series in Australia.So yes its sad to see passion turned into business.
