Cricket in India has lost its Sheen

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.......

Cricket is just the waste of time. Just an Black Spot which has to be removed. I'm not saying about only cricket, but also for the fame of cricket raising day by day in India. Come on guys it is just a sports and not more than that, please Awake Yourself!

Hi guys according to me we play games for enjoy and also viewers enjoy it but when we make business in sport then it looses our value and looses interest of viewers. As we all aware about match fixing in IPL. So when any game, not only cricket play for business then it looses our value.

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.

No cricket is not loosing its sheen and will never looose.cicket may be not the national game of our country but is the game of our indians who have kept cricket in their heart.cricket is the game which is loved by people and not just by the youth but also by all ages of people.people may get bored of cricket but will never leave.its has made a permanant place in the heart of indians and its difficult to take its out from their minds.
i will give an example in India.when a child is born his parent handles him a bat or a ball why not a hockey stick or badminton racket its d culture its the tradition which is followed by the peopleof india because people love cricket and its very difficult to loose its sheen.its the game of poor rich and what makers it more special is our achievement our players who makes us proud their hence its the clear ans that cricket will never loose its sheen.

I agree. Cricket in India has lost its sheen. Players play for paychecks now-a-days rather than for their team. They are more inclined toward the commercials rather than playing. You can see Indian cricketers in advertising campaigns, be it Sachin Tendulkar or MS Dhoni or the young and fresh faces of Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma. Recent spot fixing scandals will further prove my point. IPL is one of the main reason for this behaviour. Big political persons, actors/actresses, businessman etc. Have huge stake in their respective IPL teams and they pay a lot of money to players to perform. So, players have become money minded. Only some, not all, I am talking about.

Cricket is more or less seen to be losing its sheen in India, it is not able to maintain its tag-the gentleman's game. Recent match fixing cases have hugely hampered its repute, cricket fans have been disappointed to a great extent, there are still players like sachin, dhoni, yuvraj and many others who play cricket not for wads of notes but for the sake of their country and their passion, but for a few cricketers and poor transparency of the management, cricket in India would have reached its zenith and the fate of cricket would not have been at stake, commercialization of cricket has really deteriorated the spirit of the game.

MY DEAR FRIENDS.

I AM ABHI,

Cricket in India has lost its Sheen is not correct in my view, every game has their value, when we realize that value? In India there are lot of games are present but today cricket is most popular game in India why? only reason for this is ours mind we promote cricket more than any other game "Hockey is our national game what we can do for Hockey, Cricket players got more time rewards than a Hockey player get, I just ask one question how players in Hockey India you know according to me I know 3 players, legend Dhyan chand, captain Sardar sigh, I know one more name Sreejesh (goalkeeper) because I'm also a keralite.

Indian cricket is moves on top most level we got ICC World cup after 27 years in the case of IPL there are lot of corruption take place beside that our new generation or our youngsters got more opportunities. India got more revenue from this mode. Due to these reason I can definitely say India has no lost its sheen.

Yes, cricket has lost its sheen in India. The game is becoming a business nowadays. Players are not playing for the country anymore, but for their personal benefits. There is corruption, politics, and what not. The board, players all are to be blamed.

Yes, cricket in India has lost its sheen and according to me one of the reasons is the steady timing of the test and ODI as lifestyles of people has changed and there is a drastic decrease in the number of people who spare their time for long hours watching the match.

T20 form has given cricket a height as large number of people are the one who watch cricket for enjoyment apart from their love for the game.

Moreover, practices like match fixing and their drivers (bookies) have also performed their part in lowering sheen of cricket.
