Cricket in India has lost its Sheen

Cricket is considered as a sport for players and for viewers. However, more than cricket, cricket is consider as a business for all those directly or indirectly associated with it. It brings tremendous amount of money to the government via side business like hotel industry, tourism, advertising agencies, etc. We always had DLF IPL, hero cup, etc. So cricket in India will never lose its sheen.

At that time when british used to rule over the country, there was no scope for cricket, from that time to nowadays, cricket has gained its popularity. It's popularity increasing day by day, as we can see in any field when anyone gains popularity, there may be some drawback, same things is applicable in cricket also, nowadays after become popular, cricketer are more concerned towards the money instead of game. And there are drawback in management also, they make a calender in which player have to play a lot of throughout the year, in this way it looses it's shine, so management should keep all these things in mind and try to make a calender as per requirement. So lastly we can say that cricket has not looses it's sheen and it will not loose if all the above things will be in progress.

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.

Cricket in India may be called partial. It is because many deserving players from many parts of the country does not gets chance to play. But if the selectors select the best players who once did great for the Indian team might steer India out of this trouble. For example : Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Irfan Pathan, etc.

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.

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.

I think in my opinion there is problem with management and paying system also. Thts why lots of cricketer are paling good in ipl or any other fast game. But they are rady to give their performance for his own nation. The players are same when they are pling for nation or for pvt game. We should think about some paying system and for cricket rules also which will not affect our nation's side and cricketer side also.

I think cricket in India is losing its sheen. Now players are more interested in playing IPL rather playing for their country. Frequent T20 matches has given a toll to injuries to key players of our national team which was the main reason of worst defeat ever in england recently.

I would not blame to players but to management. They don't give rest to the players when needed and I think their should be some rotation of players in the team for some specific interval of time so they get enough time for rest and new players get chance too. Players should be encouraged to play international cricket for their country but not merely for the clubs of IPL. They should be encouraged to make cricketing spirit alive. Selectors should be former players but not politicians like ravi shukla or pawar.

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!

I think cricket in india is at its peak. After the recent successes it has achieved in all formats i.e. has got no.1 ranking in test ,no. 2 in one dayers and hey..we are first T20 champions.attracting by the money and fame ,many youngsters even from small towns are choosing cricket as career. The captain MS Dhoni himself is from Non metro...when sachin plays whole country stops to watch him score another hunderd...Cricket is no more just a sport in india it's a phenomenon and this is also one of the thing which binds our multi cultural country as one....Certainly cricket is not loosing its sheen.
