I think cricket in India has soared over the past 5 years. It has definitely not lost its sheen, in fact it has prospered and flourished, giving India a place in the world map in terms of cricket;in fact more often than not it is called the the "Cricketing Superpower of the World"!. People talk about commercialization coming into the fray. Destroying the spirit of the game!

They do not understand that the very fact that these players are being offered humongous endorsements stands testimony to the fact that they are doing well in their.

Respective fields. I feel, as a matter f fact, that, Cricket in India is getting too much of importance!We need to shift focus on other sports as well!

No, Cricket in India can never lose its sheen. It is still the most dominating sports in India and the craze for it is increasing exponentially especially with the introduction of T-20 format games like IPL. Yes, there were some disappointing performances by the Indian team before the world cup 2015, but this has nothing to do with the craze of cricket in India.

In fact the performance of the team has nothing to do with the sheen of Indian cricket. Even today when Indian cricket team lose we feel more sad as compared to the sadness for loss in any other sports. It is just because of the attachment all Indians have with this game.

Although many sports have been promoted in recent times, but still I don't find the craze of any sports anywhere near the craze of cricket.

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.

Even if cricket is not the National sports of India yet all the indians feels like it is merely equal to national game. Cricket in India can never lose its sheen even after match fixing scams. IPL every year had made a new beginning for T20 cricket in India. Every indians are eager to watch the match even after the match fixing & IPL scams. Its because of us (indians) love to the cricketers that most of the companies choose Indian cricketers for advertisement so that they may get an edge over selling their product.

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.

Blaming players should be stopped. The governing comity must be headed by the retired. Players of Indian team with retired. Players as members. Politicians must not involve in sports. Players know a lot about cricket than others so BCCI must be headed and member by retired players and not by other business person or politicians. This will improve the strength of game and the bad impression can be easily erased from Indian cricket fans.

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 become an Entertainment than Sport in India because of IPL. I don't know Why IPL played every year? We say Indian Cricket got the new talent like Hardik Pandya or Manish Pandey etc, etc. Is 20 over matches is Enough to prove all the talent in players? Where is our Ranji Trophy, Devdhar trophy? Everybody Knows that IPL is not the pure league. But still we Watch every match of IPL isn't right? See the schedule of IPL, is always around one and half month why?What it's Importance, What it's target? I requested to BCCI that pleases make more strong Indian Cricket, not World Cricket.

ADD MORE DOMESTIC TOURNAMENTS such as Ranji or Devdhar trophy you definitely found a new talent. Indian Cricket doesn't need any type of leagues such as IPL. Increase local Indian Tournaments that was happening till before 2008. IPL is not any Indian tournament it's just Entertainment. YES, OUR FOOTBALL NEED An ISL TYPE LEAGUE Because we are still mad in Football not only in FIFA ranking but also in MONEY. But Indian Cricket doesn't need any type of IPL types Cheap Worst Leagues.

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.
