Virat all-alone in Indian cricket

This is why Cricket is our life

Indian cricketers are every now and then criticized for their lack of commitment on the ground but recent incident where Virat could not hold on to his emotions shows the extent of commitment that this youngster brings to the ground. Indian cricket team was up against South African team and despite winning the match Indian team could not make it through to the semifinals as they needed to win it by at least 32 runs and Pakistan got through on the basis of net run rate. Even before the match ended every one knew the sad news and Virat could not take the jolt and broke into tears. The live telecast showed images of Virat with tears almost ready to run down his sad face. This behavior of our young energetic star was unexpected as we know him for his fighting (never say die) cricketer's attitude.One felt that there is another Sachin Tendulkar fighting it out all by himself while others were just riding on his shoulders.Though Virat was not very successful in this match but throughout the T20 World cup 2012 only name that looked like playing for victory was Virat Kohli. He was our best batsman on display during the tournament while others were finding out new ways of getting out or keeping themselves in playing eleven. Once again Dhoni and Viru seemed to be far too much interested in internal friction which has been the major story throughout cricket 2012. 

 We the people of India are proud of our emotional fighter and Salute him from cores of 120 crore hearts.

Indian U-19 Cricket Team Defeated Oz to Win U-19 World Cup 2012

A Better Future In The Making

Indian U-19 cricket team defeated Australian cricket team in U-19 world cup final and became world champion. This was third time that Indian juniors have won this title and Indian cricket team has become second team after Australia to win the world cup in both categories at same time.

The final match proved to be real test of Indian team's bating order as it had already been below its level throughout the world cup.The Indian captain and undoubtedly best batsman in the junior level team, Unmukt played on of his best innings to get the team out of a precarious situation. Indian cricket team was once at 97 runs for loss of four wicket when the captain and the wicket keeping batsman Sumit formed a match winning partnership and won the match by six wickets. 

This victory is also important in the sense that Indian U-19 team has won the cup in away from home conditions and defeated Australians at their home.Because of the way these youngsters have performed in the tournament, some cricket experts have already started discussions about their possible inclusion in the senior team. Especially the captain Unmukt has shown a lot of promise and could soon be following footsteps of cricketers like M. Kaif, Yuvraj Singh and Virat Kohli.The left handed young spinner has also won himself a few followers because of his flight and trajectory and he is already being referred to as next Bishan Singh Bedi by a few experts.

Welcome Back Yuvraj-After Almost 9 Months He Is back.

Yuvraj In Test Match

Yuvraj Singh Indian Cricket team's left handed stylish batsman is all set to stage a come-back in upcoming T20 world cup to be held in Shrilanka next month.The National Selectors decided to include him in the 15 member squad for the upcoming T 20s in recently held meeting of the selection committee. Whether he is fit or not? this is the concern that most of his fans and Indian cricket team supporters are still wondering about as Yuvraj Singh has not played any professional matches yet.Earlier Yuvraj has communicated about his fitness to the board and said that he is fit. The Indian cricket team needs him badly because in his absence, in last year or so team has not been successful in fulfilling the expectations. With Yuvi back in the scheme of things the team might once again find that right balance and the attitude that was found missing for over a year. Also his return will give the team a chance to improve its records in T20 world cup.

Yuvi Celebration Style

1. Should Yuvraj start playing for the team even if he is not hundred percent match fit?
2. Has all that he has been through, changed him and his attitude towards the game?
3. How do you feel about his return into the team, is it too soon for him to readjust.

Sports And Politics.

                                                Sports & Politics
 There is this news out there about Sachin Tandulkar going towards politics, Don't worry he is not going to be contesting in any elections, but he has been nominated by our President of India for Rajya Sabha membership.
There is this tradition in place in which President is supposed to nominate or suggest names of citizens/public figures with great achievements or services for the nation. 
 let us discuss  something about the connection of politics to the big sporting celebs. This week we have come to know about possibilities of Sachin Tandulkar beginning his new and unexpected innings in the Rajya Sabha. Thinking about it makes me sad when I realize that the time has come for our beloved and believed hero to decide his future plans.Along with that he will decide future of Indian cricket too. But I guess no one was expecting him to take on the challenge of running our democracy through politics. And that is what Sachin is made up off, you think he is over and he begins new innings, isn't it? I think I am being unfair in discussing his retirement too prematurely, especially when he himself has indicated to be around for a bit longer. Let me just get back to his and other sports person's connection to politics.
 Over the years we have seen quite a few of them sitting around in our Parliament or its lower houses and serving the Nation, and some of them had even been successful in retaining or getting re-elected after their first term. May be there are people from other sports fields too but let me just focus on cricket.These days Navjoot Singh Sidhu and Md. Ajaheruddin are doing their bit in the field of politics.
 I just want to know one thing if it for their mass appeal are their own interests in politics that get these cricketers into politics. Definitely being cricketers helps a lot in gaining followers but are cricketers being used by these political parties as masks or advertising material. I think each one of us knows how difficult it is getting for these parties to keep themselves alive. With the advent of new regional parties the huge vote banks have been divided and bigger fishes are getting slimmer and thinner. One can just hope that this combination of sports and politics does some good to the democracy and in return for the country. We all will keep following our heroes wherever they go and whatever new challenges they take on.Let us Wish Sachin best of luck in his political life.
 As far as writing about this issue is concerned I have that habit of raising question marks everywhere, letting people think
and then Speak up. So SPEAK UP BECAUSE YOU CAN.
