I think that cricket in India is in the blood of almost every Indian. But the big mountain between cricket and talent is politics. Cricket in India may be called 'Partial'. I think that players of India are most interested in playing IPL. Rather than playing for the country. This is because players get more money of playing IPL than international Cricket.

Some players of India play with their hearts in international cricket like Raina, Sachin, Dravid, Kohli but some play only for money and this is why they perform in advertisement.

In my opinion on the "Cricket in India has lost its Sheen is No. I think Cricket in every Indians has in blood because children know about this game from the primary teacher (Parents). In India When child born after some day his relatives give to ball for play.

If we talk about the domestic level of this game some people this game for the pleasure and some play for the keep their body fit and some wants to play in international level. So the future of this game is bright.

In this game consists 11 players in one team India a largest country a number of people are playing this game. IPL is a one source where domestic players get a chance to play with international level player.

Everything is associated with each other if a player is doing hard work toward the game that's why he got a chance to play there. After doing hard work every person think that results must positive.

They are earning name fame and money because they deserve for that.

I think cricket has lost its sheen India. It is total politics that is involved and so is IPL. IPL is played by the players just for the sake of money. Any player in IPL can hit a sixer or a four in quick succession and complete a century. I do not understand why IPL is raking in retired players. Is it for the name's sake or whatever it is. And nowadays in a Test match a player gets money in bounty and loads of money in IPL. Plus the advertisements. That why a player who hasn't even completed his graduation gets loads of money higher than that of a professional. What has a player got to do with advertisment especially that of motor bikes I fail to understand. That's why and I do fully agree with what Sir George Bernard Shaw said that cricket is game played by 11 flanneled fools. How come does the Indian team fare very badly when they travel overseas. Politics and IPL should be banned in order to bring back cricket its sheen.

Well, I don't think cricket has lost its sheen. Because of the growing economy, cricket has commercialized. But just because of cricket having an entertainment side, public figures from all fields associated with it, also varied forms of cricket being played, it cannot be said that it has lost its sheen.

Cricket is not only a culture in India but a religion that is followed - every child that first plays any game is cricket. Parents first hand over a bat and a ball to their children. You see them in small lanes playing this sport. I am sure they would not know the national sport of this country for most of them their favorite sport is cricket.

Also I agree, Indian cricket has lost its sheen. Now a days some cricket player want money, they have involved in advertisement, I thing, it not expected from real Indian cricketer. Other side have seen that some politics has been incorporated, a player has good performance but he will not chance for Indian teem, my opinion that our teem will be sheen, when above this two things is removed. Also IPL is a one of the most importance factor for lost this sheen of Indian teem.

For most of the Indians sports means cricket. More than 90% of the males have played cricket in their life once. The way people came on the street when India won world cup 2011 and t20 world cup, shows love of Indian people for cricket. For brand endorsement cricketers are preferred to other celebrities. The IPL has became famous on world platform shows love of Indians for cricket. The cricket is not only sports but event. Its audience who shift their behavior when India won and lose. Win or lose is integral part of any sports.

Cricket was famous, is famous and will be famous in India.

No. Cricket didn't lose it's sheen in India, not only in India but also in the world. Day by day it is bring up like sea waves. In olden days no one know about the cricket but nowadays even a little fella playing and watching cricket. If you ask anyone 'What is your favorite game?'. No doubt absolutely 90% of people will say 'Cricket'.

These are few examples how the cricket is evoking. If Cricket introduced in Olympics, Cricket will dominate the Soccer. In future every country participate in cricket. Even though it has some defects it's a wonderful game.

Hey what is this?you are praising the players when they win the match. At the same time you are criticizing the players when they lost the match. Players need encouragement when they are in sad time. Please all our Indian players are best please don't tease them.

Yes, I really think cricket in India has lost its popularity over many years. Earlier, cricketers such as kapil dev, dilip vengaskar etc. Used to play for their country, their team and not just for their self interest. No doubt, today also players play for raising the name of India, but half of their spirits are influenced by money. It is not their real performance.

Nowadays, annually played IPL has been dominating over the cricketers, . They play for endorsing various brands and sort of linking themselves to the reel life. Cricket has not just remained cricket in the hearts of the players as well as the fans. But merely a COMMERCIALIZATION ART.

I'm totally disagree with the statement that cricket is loosing its sheen. I think cricket can never loose its sheen, people might become a little bore about cricket for a while, but it will never last for a long span. As far as cricket as a game is concerned it is still in the blood of Indians. Let me clarify my view 1st of all, I'm not seeing IPL, 1 days, or test as different legs of cricket. I see them as cricket only. So I must say Indians are still as much as crazy as they were earlier.

Cricket is considered as a sport for players and for viewers. However, more than cricket, cricket is consider as a business for all those directly or indirectly associated with it. It brings tremendous amount of money to the government via side business like hotel industry, tourism, advertising agencies, etc. We always had DLF IPL, hero cup, etc. So cricket in India will never lose its sheen.

At that time when british used to rule over the country, there was no scope for cricket, from that time to nowadays, cricket has gained its popularity. It's popularity increasing day by day, as we can see in any field when anyone gains popularity, there may be some drawback, same things is applicable in cricket also, nowadays after become popular, cricketer are more concerned towards the money instead of game. And there are drawback in management also, they make a calender in which player have to play a lot of throughout the year, in this way it looses it's shine, so management should keep all these things in mind and try to make a calender as per requirement. So lastly we can say that cricket has not looses it's sheen and it will not loose if all the above things will be in progress.

Cricket in India may be called partial. It is because many deserving players from many parts of the country does not gets chance to play. But if the selectors select the best players who once did great for the Indian team might steer India out of this trouble. For example : Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Irfan Pathan, etc.

I am not totally in favour of the fact that cricket has lost its sheen. IPL on one hand has become extremely popular as it needs involvement of lot of players which is anyday instrumental for cricket and cricket fans, but on the other hand the lethargic look on test macthes is a point of concern as less crowd views the match. The cricket committe should take effective measures to have a right balance between all 3 modes of game so that in future there should not be any point of raising such a question.

Test match between India and west indies in Eden garden could gather a sparse crowd of 5000 only. This was the scene of all the stadiums, more or less. Even in short form (odi's) also. Friends it seems that cricket in India is loosing its glamour. Because of cricket being played through out the whole year now people are becoming little bit bored of it. They are not only absent from the ground but also not keeping the track of scores on internet also. Excess of cricket is killing it. If we have to restore the sheen of cricket in India and world overall (because around 70% of the revenue earned by the endorsement company comes through india) then we will have to properly balance the amount of cricket being played and particularly of club crickets like ipl, big bash etc.

I think in my opinion there is problem with management and paying system also. Thts why lots of cricketer are paling good in ipl or any other fast game. But they are rady to give their performance for his own nation. The players are same when they are pling for nation or for pvt game. We should think about some paying system and for cricket rules also which will not affect our nation's side and cricketer side also.

I think cricket in India is losing its sheen. Now players are more interested in playing IPL rather playing for their country. Frequent T20 matches has given a toll to injuries to key players of our national team which was the main reason of worst defeat ever in england recently.

I would not blame to players but to management. They don't give rest to the players when needed and I think their should be some rotation of players in the team for some specific interval of time so they get enough time for rest and new players get chance too. Players should be encouraged to play international cricket for their country but not merely for the clubs of IPL. They should be encouraged to make cricketing spirit alive. Selectors should be former players but not politicians like ravi shukla or pawar.

I think cricket in India has soared over the past 5 years. It has definitely not lost its sheen, in fact it has prospered and flourished, giving India a place in the world map in terms of cricket;in fact more often than not it is called the the "Cricketing Superpower of the World"!. People talk about commercialization coming into the fray. Destroying the spirit of the game!

They do not understand that the very fact that these players are being offered humongous endorsements stands testimony to the fact that they are doing well in their.

Respective fields. I feel, as a matter f fact, that, Cricket in India is getting too much of importance!We need to shift focus on other sports as well!

I think cricket in india is at its peak. After the recent successes it has achieved in all formats i.e. has got no.1 ranking in test ,no. 2 in one dayers and hey..we are first T20 champions.attracting by the money and fame ,many youngsters even from small towns are choosing cricket as career. The captain MS Dhoni himself is from Non metro...when sachin plays whole country stops to watch him score another hunderd...Cricket is no more just a sport in india it's a phenomenon and this is also one of the thing which binds our multi cultural country as one....Certainly cricket is not loosing its sheen.

Cricket in India can never lose its sheen. Cricket is not just a game, its a religion in India. Even though, players run after huge paychecks and the authority people do everything to hold their chairs, when it comes to the cricket ground, everything is left behind. Players play with real enthusiasm and zeal to win the game.

We cricket fans can never insult the players and their game. Every sportsman has ups and downs in his careers. It is just unfair that we support them when they are good and tease them when they play badly. Media always keep double-crossing the sportsperson by lifting him high enough to touch the heights of zenith when he is in good form and treating him like a worm when he is out of form.

So, its a big request to the media to stop behaving like a kid and broadcast what is necessary. As they are trying to spoil the sheen of cricket in India.

Yes cricket in india has lost its sheen because they rely on commercialization of cricket rather than playing cricket with professional spirits. Several cricketers have got addicted to huge paychecks rather than performance. People from political background and other bureaucrats are holding stakes in teams much hyped Indian Premier League. I think Cricket in India needs true Performance of all cricketers rather than showing of their brand endorsement. Senior and Junior Crickets should have equal contracts and paychecks, and Cricket Board should have transparency for running cricket in India. they should also utilize their money for developing vrious cricket stadium and should be on competition on par with Australia and should provide best sporting facilities and equipments for all cricketers.
