Cricket in India has lost its sheen because every one rely on commercialization of cricket rather than playing cricket with professional spirits. Politics in cricket is shameful thing for every person, but Indian Cricket is hardly affected this. Politics in Indian Cricket was running from many past years but now it's increase day by day. Because of this performance is no matter for many players, they got a chance for playing the nation by using their high links. Not only for entry in Indian cricket team but retirement is also had pre planned for many players.

IPL is a fantastic thing because of IPL the scope of cricket is increAse in India and it provide the chance to the youngster to show their talents because only 11 can play for country so the other who are practicing hard got the opportunity through IPL to show their potential so I can say IPL is very fantastic and all the cricketer from all country want to in IPL.

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.

Moreover I also feel that the cricketing tactics of the players are reveled in course of playing IPL matches. For example, the cricketing techniques of two players who are from different countries but playing for the same team in IPL will be revealed. For e.g they will cum to know abut the kinds of shots they play etc and this will be a deterrent factor when they will be facing each other as contendants.

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.

Yes cricket in India has lost its sheen because they rely on commercialization of cricket rather than playing cricket with professional spirits. Now players are more interested in playing IPL rather playing for their country. Friends it seems that cricket in India is loosing its glamour. Because of cricket being played throughout the whole year now people are becoming little bit bored of it.

Earlier, cricketers such as kapil dev. 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.

Its totally absurd to even think that cricket in India has lost its sheen. In fact this is the only sport which is growing day by day on both basis interest as well as market. See the ipl success story and Indian cricket team conquering all over the world I mean in what way it is losing its sheen.

(Honestly this should not be a topic in GD).

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.

Now day's cricket is one of one game who playing in huge number, yes. Cricket is popular in all over the world. The new generation is also interesting to play cricket, the n number of cricket we can see in India, Pakistan, South Africa, Newzland, west indies, Australia, England this country is playing cricket in huge number. Cricket has come from England. The cricket game is called as the game of England but now this game is playing in every country. The rank who playing in large amount.

India is the first rank who who playing in large amount in India the cricket is play as national game. The god of cricket is Sachin Tendulkar. In previous day's cricket format like test for 5 days which could be play with white ball with wight dress. And one day matches could for 50 over. Now's day the new format of cricket is T20 which play for 20 over. This T20 format is playing as a ipl, bpl, ppl, epl, apl, npl, just like that and this T20 cricket format is become the source of earning. With the help of this game now crickets earn money not also cricket but but also politician is become a reach person with help of cricket.

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.
