Cricket in India has lost its Sheen

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.

No, Cricket in India has not lost its sheen. Cricket is still popular as it was, People of different age group still left their important work for watching the cricket. It shows that cricket is and never will lose its sheen.

Cricket has become just another most corrupt organization in India, especially after IPL and huge money is involved and it is no longer sports and people of india have woken up and giving it cold shoulder these days.

Yes I agree. In India the cricket is an offence most of the people who are betting in the cricket they are spoiling their lives and money and waste of time some of the cricketers are corrupted. These seems people who are interested in cricket spoiling their lives and suiciding also. It is shame.

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.

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.

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.

According to me, in India cricket is very popular game among all games and most of young people wants to ply cricket and they play cricket. At first we have to stop the advertisement done by cricketer for money and second one is IPL these are the factors.

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.

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.
