Cricket in India has lost its Sheen

Cricket in India is day by day becoming more enthusiastic and more thrilling. The introduction of successful IPL seasons have lead the Indian team to won ICC twenty-20 cup, followed by historic records by Indian cricket team and finally 28 years long awaited world cup. Cricket is in fact gradually gaining sheen day by day.

In this topic disagree with my thoughts. India cricket is most popular to all countries. A lot of fans to the Indian cricketers. In the years 1983, 2007, 2011 unforgettable to the India. Because of the years are India winning of the world cup. So cricket has not India lost its sheen.

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.

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.

Yes, because nowadays the game only depends on tossing who gets to bowl in favouring conditions. So it makes it less competitive and one-sided.

@All.

I can see your point. It's frustrating when a game feels more about luck than skill, especially when conditions heavily favour one side, like in cricket. A pitch that's biased toward bowlers can make a huge difference and if a team gets the opportunity to bowl in those conditions just because of the toss, it can feel a bit unfair.

Cricket in India has not lost its sheen; rather, it has evolved over the years. The passion for the sport remains as strong as ever, with millions of fans following every match, whether it's an international game, the IPL, or domestic tournaments.

India continues to produce world-class cricketers who shine on the global stage. The sport's popularity is only growing with advancements in technology, live streaming, and social media engagement. While challenges like excessive commercialization and player workload exist, cricket in India remains deeply rooted in the culture and continues to thrive.
