Cricket is one of the most followed sport in India. We all have grown up watching or playing cricket in the streets or in school with our friends. In India cricket is considered as a religion, not only that people are very passionate about this sport. We all have dreamed of becoming a cricketer and represent our country. Sports have always been our favourite activity whether it was in school, or at home watching it on tv or with your friends playing with them in the evening.
Cricket has evolved majorly with time, players are more fit and results in matches are not easy to conclude. We can hardly see a Test Match end without any result or a Draw. Twenty20 cricket has really changed the mindset of players. Indian Premier League has been the most awaited tournament for every cricket fan. Watching your favourite team win or getting upset after your favourite team loses, it's all a part of our emotional attachment with the team and ofcourse with the Sport.
Indian Cricket changed drastically after 2007. It had to happen as times had changed, Cricket had changed. There was a big task for the selection committee to choose a side which would be competitive and among the best .Many players were replaced with young players and new talent. Some were given chances based on their performances in the past. Some players were rested to let new players take the international stage and perform well.
Cricket has always been a Sport which is loved by their fans and surrounded by them, fans are a very integral part of Sports Entertainment. Cricket is played with the enthusiasm of winning the game by every over of the match, every ball is crucial, every decision is taken with a well thought plan and strategy. One mistake would seem as if it did not make a difference but it does. Even a difference of one run can take the game away from your team. Sports have always been about Physical and Mental coordination, you just can't be physically fit and mentally weak to win a game, you have to keep your calm and not hesitate while you're in a very crucial situation or the game. It is important to keep the balance between your body and mind.
One such thing which strikes my mind when I talk about Sports is information. You need to have every small detail and information about your opponent and their gameplay. It is very important to have a plan before a big match because it makes it systematic and creates a mental strategy as to how can you tackle your opponent, what are their weaknesses and how can you counter attack if something doesn't go according to plan. Planning and Strategy are a very crucial part of Sports as well.
Cricket has always been a very unpredictable game, it's never easy to predict a winner because even one player can change the course of the game. One over can turn the tables towards the opposition side. One bad shot can flip the result upside down and take your moment away from you.
