In the month of April this year when the Indian cricket team returned to India after the world cup fiasco there were hardly any crowd and fans to receive them. Some of the cricketers took different routes to reach home. The board ensured that tight security was provided to the team to prevent any untoward incidence. There was lot of brick bats that happened after India's dismal performance in Caribbean world cup. The first thing that happened was to sack the coach Greg chappell. We went to Bangladesh with some make shift arrangement and thanks to Ravi Shastri 's gesture we could overcome all pressures and came victorious.
With the English victory our cricketers are all walking tall with their head up. Most fans wished India should have won the series 2-0. It is easy to make such statement sitting in the stand and living room. Remember Rahul and his team has beaten England's most successful captain who has maintained consistent record of not losing any series in England.
Cricket is such a game that the public memory is very short. We are now in cloud 11 having climbed to the 3rd spot in the test playing nations ranking. The morale is very high and we hope this carried forward to the one day series and the T20 matches.
Some of the sponsors and the channels will also be smiling as the demand for brand endorsements will go up both in terms of number of brands and also a likely increase in the endorsement fees. Channels will be able to command premium for their spots as TRP numbers may look now better and more brighter.
I would like to conclude by saying that there is no SUBSTITUTE FOR CRICKET when it comes to entertainment . Just like Bollywood where you land up seeing flops the same is true with cricket.
Just enjoy the game and leave your emotions aside.
