I think that cricket in India is in the blood of almost every Indian. But the big mountain between cricket and talent is politics. Cricket in India may be called 'Partial'. I think that players of India are most interested in playing IPL. Rather than playing for the country. This is because players get more money of playing IPL than international Cricket.
Some players of India play with their hearts in international cricket like Raina, Sachin, Dravid, Kohli but some play only for money and this is why they perform in advertisement.

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.

I am not totally in favour of the fact that cricket has lost its sheen. IPL on one hand has become extremely popular as it needs involvement of lot of players which is anyday instrumental for cricket and cricket fans, but on the other hand the lethargic look on test macthes is a point of concern as less crowd views the match. The cricket committe should take effective measures to have a right balance between all 3 modes of game so that in future there should not be any point of raising such a question.

We want cricket like football in number of playing countries and an entry to the Olympics. But the nature of cricket is against.
The real cricket is test matches, but the 5 days duration is a big problem and ODI s are also long in duration. But 3 hrs T20 is ok, but T20 destroyed the beauty of the cricket. So we want to combine test and ODI in a T20 format. So in a team only 4 batsmen allowed to bat, I mean if 3 wickets are gone the team is all out.
Can you agree with me? Sorry for my bad English.

I'm totally disagree with the statement that cricket is loosing its sheen. I think cricket can never loose its sheen, people might become a little bore about cricket for a while, but it will never last for a long span. As far as cricket as a game is concerned it is still in the blood of Indians. Let me clarify my view 1st of all, I'm not seeing IPL, 1 days, or test as different legs of cricket. I see them as cricket only. So I must say Indians are still as much as crazy as they were earlier.

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.

Of course it has not because they lose but because they lose for money. Not only cricketers but to every athlete should play to win, play to enlighten the name of his country, to his sentiments but not to earn only money.
In BCCI we have lots of example where people become a part of cricket just for the shake of earning. So to sustain the sheen of India's most wanted sport, I have a most humble request to play for your zeal and keep the greed for money far away.

I'm 20 year old guy. I used to be a huge cricket fan. I cried out loud when India had lost, and screamed like an idiot when India had won. I had cricket emotionally attached to me. But I don't know why I have lost interest in cricket.
Maybe that's due to the retirement of legends, or maybe Indian team have achieved everything there is to achieve, or maybe my increasing interest in football. But it's true that Indian cricket is starting to lose its sheen.

According to my opinion Cricket in India has not lost its sheen maybe many people say that it has lost its sheen but according to me cricket is a game of true sportsmanship if it has lost its sheen then how did the team India won the world cup and many cricket fans enjoyed but I might say ipl is being used as a game of commercialization rather than saying team India has lost its sheen. I thank you for giving me this oppurtunity to speak about this topic.

Yes cricket in India has lost its sheen, nowadays cricketers are more influenced by money and fame rather than sport spirit, the best example we can think of is recent incident of spot fixing in which cricketers of rajasthan royals got caught, incidents like these are disgrace on our Indian cricket, players really need to realise that its their performance what actually is going to be remembered not amount of dollars that they are gonna make.
