Hi friends,
This is my first blog. Actually I don’t know how to write but decided to try. If any grammatical mistake is there plz excuse because I am not good in English.
Here I want to share my feelings about cricket the sports which is killing the future of other sports in India. In India cricket has become a religion, no one care about other games like chess where Indian is the champion . Dhoni has became the inspired person than Leander Paes , Strange but true. Whenever our beloved men in blue (Indian cricket team) boys go to the big matches we always believe that this time they surely win the cup. But what they will do? The answer is known to everyone but still we love those peoples. They concentrate on the advertisement more than on game. That people knows that when they playing the one billion peoples have hope on them, but they just ignores that and always play for money.
In this moment we should remember the great sports persons who always played for country never cared about money like Dhanaraj Pilley, Vishwanathan Anand, P.T.Usha and many more persons…When Indian cricket team won T-20 world cup they got lot of money from BCCI, Indian Government and their respective state governments, but V.Anand has won the world cup in Chess consecutively 3 times, what the government did for him? When Saina Nehwal became the first Indian to won the Indonesian super series what her state government gave to her? I feel very bad to remind that our national game i.e hockey players did the strike for their payment. This shows how our government shows disinterest in other sports.
Why we people always give more preference to cricket only? Is there any lack of talents in other sports in our country? Or are they not performing better than cricket players? The nations like U.S.A , Japan, China they never gave the preference to cricket because they know that cricket is a foolish game. Just think about their growth in other sports, how they coach their players, how much money they put on their players. We should follow their methods in training the sports persons (Not cricket players). Now football world cup starting, I am feeling very bad & thinking that when our team will participate in such type of events.
Atleast from now onwards we people and our government should give support to other sports. I am not telling that we should neglect the cricket or ban that game, I am just telling that give a same preference to other games also as much u give to cricket, so that our proud persons like Saina, Vijayendar,Kkaran Chandok will shine our country name in the world.
