Certainly, the recent standard of Indian cricketers is a matter of great anxieties on the ahead of world cup. The team has totally lost its balance after the defeat of test match as well as the tri-series. The bats-mans like-Rayadu, Dhawan has failed to prove themselves in the ground of Aussie's. The condition of bowlers are not quite satisfactory. Above all, the players does not know what they have to do.

Cricket is a famous game in India. There are so many excellent players I'm India. But now a days they got addicted to money. I mean not all members but some members are being doing like that that's why cricket lost its value. Now a days people are not interested see the cricket. Players of India have to concentrate on playing got the world cup.

Hello friends.

Due to respect all the viewer, I'm Aamir.

According to me Cricket in India has lost its sheen. May be I wrong. But I remembered that when I was I class 7 or 8. That time I'm very excited about a cricket match. But now I am in my graduation final year. I don't see really interest about cricket myself. I don't know the exactly reason about this but now I'm am very much interested in politics.

Because politician affect our life but cricketer don't affect directly in my life. I am not show here which party I support in politics but after 2012 I think the craze of politics very increase and the craze of cricket is loose day by day.

This is my opinion I don't what you think. But cricket are only the resource of entertainment but politics is the future of youth.

Thank you.

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.

Real issue here is not money. I don't think there is anything wrong in making money. That is right of professionals. If we look at Football then footballers in Europe earn 10 times more than what cricketers do in India. If you consider any field then top 15 or 20 professionals of that field are highly paid people.

Issue here is that there is nothing new in it. If I consider IPL matches then every match is replica of some other match. There are very few unique results left due to over Cricket. Now days hitting 6 on the last bowl while chasing is achievable which was not possible 10 years back. Spectators have seen everything now.

Bad Wickets in India- Most of the Cricket which is being played in India is played on non sporting wickets. Pitches are Flat and favour only Batsmen. This has reduced competitiveness.

Number of Countries playing high level Cricket- If we see History then for last 30 years only 8 key teams are playing good quality Cricket. Standard of countries like Bangladesh, Zimbabwe has not improved.

Overall, India has developed but with flaws and other countries have not developed at all. This has reduced competitiveness of the game and hence Cricket has lost its glory.

According to my point this is the true statement. Because of now a days in cricket lots of corruption increasing. 2g spectrum is the best example. And players are playing for only money not for cricket growth. If it happens continuously, cricket in India has lost it sheen definitely. So every players should play for our team growth.

No. Infact because of ipl some new fans of cricket also connect with it, because of it people of India know more about overseas players like gayle and A B de villiers etc. Very like by these fans. So whenever they played although outside India people just want to see them on television and people know more about domestic players those play well in ipl and infact media also help these players by telecast programme with cricket expert to examine the selection committee job. At present every fans in India have their own idea to which player should be in the national team.

IPL also has open the door to rub their shoulders with international players.

Cricket in India is better to some extent and to other its up to the players who be honest and does not involve any match fixings as so they did in IPL. So a clean mode of cricket to be seen. The officers must be serious about these actions.

Hello everyone,

I, personally feel, that the cricket in India has actually lost its sheen, after the advent of IPL (Indian Premiere League). All the cricketers are looking to come under limelight in collaboration with media i.e. films, television etc. Which is seriously not a good thing indeed. Well, media and cricket altogether, forms a different concept, both comes under different categories. With IPL making its presence felt, no cricketer is showing more seriousness towards their own game and instead, running behind money, which in similar, they find themselves trapped under spot fixing and other scams being involved.

IPL, though being comes under entertaining one, still we cannot say such form of cricket as a real cricket. Real Cricket has actually lost its shine for two main reasons. Firstly, being so slow which nowadays many people find it hard to digest and secondly not enough business being involved under it. But, still, I still consider this form of cricket as an entertaining part rather than IPL form.

IPL has made the cricket fast lane and enjoyable and still under rust and temporary form of cricket which, someday, it would move down because of conspiracies involved in it. I still have a hope that, someday, in the mid of 21st century, real cricket will actually find its place better than the other forms.

Ya I agree with the statement. In India cricket became a commercial one. The players are not doing their level best. If we consider IPL which is the most worst thing in which crores of rupees are shifting between hands. Most of the players are fascinating towards money so they are involving in the spot fixing and losing their image and respect. Their aim is within the short duration of 2 months they want to earn crores of rupees which is the most corruption thing. Of Course it gives lot of entertainment so although our national game is hockey we are not giving preference to it.
