Cricket in India: More Than a Game, It's an Emotion

If you walked through the streets of India, especially in the evening, you would probably see every kid playing cricket. Anyone who is somewhere on the street plays cricket even if he has Even if they don't have a proper bat and ball, they still play and play with the same enthusiasm with which everyone plays today, this is a sign that India is deeply connected with cricket, so this cricket is an emotional tradition and every child plays it because it is a lot of fun to play cricket with friends in the evening. Today's generation doesn't play that much. Today's generation is very phone-oriented. But the previous generation used to play cricket, football, and volleyball a lot.

The journey of cricket started a long time ago. At the time of British rule, India had not learned to play cricket that well and was not that passionate. But even then there were many people like that. People used to play in social events, small towns and villages. They used to play with rubber balls and wooden sticks, but they used to enjoy it a lot and all these games seemed very good. You people should play.

The biggest reason for cricket being popular is its simplicity. You will not need any background or any expensive equipment. Then you will need a thing bat and a ball, all these things make cricket a good game.

The second reason which has been successful. It has happened in the history of Indian cricket that India won the World Cup. In 1983, it was a magical moment in cricket. It was a great inspiration for the players of that generation that a team that was not expected to win could win and we defeated the leader legend West Indies. At that time when they had already won two World Cups, all this became an inspiration for India and inspired us to see how well India plays today.

And our Indian legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni, etc., all these people add more excitement and make the game bigger. So you can imagine that they come from a small town like Mumbai or Delhi or Bihar or from a small house. They are such big players who play so well that we all feel that we should also play with them. We have so much fun watching them.

Today, the Indian cricket board, which we call BCCI, is the richest in the world. They have a valuation of 18000 crores, so all these things take us far ahead. In terms of cricket, we get such a crazy following in IPL in India and our board is so high that no one even comes close to us. Just think, the valuation of the second highest cricket board is 600 crores, so we are 10x more than them or you can say 20x more in terms of fund and in terms of valuation.

Today, we have Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni, all these people who are so popular in foreign countries and Virat Kohli is the third highest followed Instagram athlete, all these things take our cricket a long way ahead, so in our IPL, they are such good stadiums. There are colorful jerseys, music, drama, and nonstop action, all this makes cricket a fresh and exciting tweet. It is such a good game. Here, a hard player from one place comes. Players come from every small town, and big town and play in the same way.

Lastly, I would like to say that cricket is famous here because every child here plays cricket and not just any elder. This is a normal thing for them and they play with their ball. They do not have any requirement for a big stadium. Then they need something like in football that at least they need a ground. To play football, if you go to any street in India, you will see children playing in the evening. It is fun to watch. Even adults play sometimes, so all of us have played cricket at some time or the other. That is why cricket is such a popular game here and in the passing years, this emotion is not there. It has become a lesson in India that children will play in the hot evening.
