Indian cricketers should be paid on performance not for just appearances at games. There should be targets set for each player and for the team as a whole.

At present cricketers in India are overpaid and adored too much by the public. They should earn their living like anybody else. Poor performance results in poor compensation and vise-versa.

All political involvement must be eliminated from cricket and selection must be based on pure merit and not by influence, cast, creed or other irrelevant factors.

Players must be given training in handling pressure, relaxation techniques and being able to measure the situation in various scenarios. They should not be in a hurry as we have seen with Virat Kholi and Rohit Sharma at the WC game 2015 against Australia.

In this day and age it is possible to construct pitches of any nature anywhere and therefore, cricketers must train on the relevant pitches before heading for any overseas game.

I think India regularly produce Good Cricketers that's why we always a Strong Nation in Cricket. Glamour already come, Money already comes, because we always a good in Cricket since winning 1983 World cup. We can't lose any sheen. It's just a glamour. Like what is Football in Brazil, Argentina etc. They are also fulfilled with glamour. Don't forget guys we smile always when India won and its only sport of Cricket where we full of emotions and we cry When India lost. We can't accept any single India loss in even any small tournament. Its shows you a lack of sheen in Indian Cricket. No never. Cricket is the biggest reason of patriotism in India like other European nations lives for their football. Cricket gives India a new and strong personality in among the whole world. I requested to every Indian parent to Encourage their Child in Sports also. Because we need more Sachin, Dhyanchand, Vishwanath Anand, Bhaichung Bhutia. THANX.

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.

There are lots of point in favor of this topic but I am providing you few points here:

1. Cricket has become a medium of business for the richer people in India after IPL.

2. All the owner of cricket (IPL) are the man whose both feet are in swamp of corruption.

3. Has become a platform of money laundering.

4. Under world is getting more money by match-fixing especially (D-GROUP).

5. All the match what we see is 80% fixed means we are watching a fake game the fate of every match is pre decided.

6. This is increasing gambling in poor country like India every where you can see at school, pubs, village, even if at police station also.

7. Many IPL owner has said that they will promote as will bring the economic condition of India at better level but never did all their black money are becoming white money.

8. TRP rate of IPL is decreasing per year this shows that fame and popularity of has gone.

No, I don't think so. Bringing in front a current incident. The India-Bangladesh match has given a mini heart attack to each and every cricket lovers. Yes, many sports nowadays are encouraged and it should be done. Like if only people would study medical and engineering what would happen to other subjects and other streams. So each and every sport should be encouraged and should be played. Thirdly. Various cricket tournaments are held every year. Ipl has changed the view of cricket. Regarding match fixing and other corrupt means practiced in the name of cricket can never make people lose interest from this sport. The craze of cricket could be easily understood when people say about Galli cricket and show their madness when India is playing any high voltage match. This sport will never lose its sheen. But the present condition of Indian cricket team needs a bit stability and our support too.

I think Cricket going in India is just for Money and Entertainment. Yes, Its a Sport not a War. But when I Do Compare between Cricketers and other sportsmen of other Sports. I thought what's the problem in other sports, why we struggling for One Fifa World CUP, why we struggling for one gold medal in Olympics. BECAUSE we are totally crazy about Cricket. Yes, Indian Cricket is now the powerhouse of World Cricket it's good for Every Indians. But now the time has come to make strong COMMAND in other Sports also. Future of Indian Cricket is Excellent no doubt about that, it's time to make India proud in other Sports also especially in Football. I humbly requested to my Government and Sports Administrators in India. To bring such policy for players that they make not only India proud but also increase their Income.

At last, I totally Agree with Shikar what he wrote Excellent good bro!

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.

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 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.
