The vault is overflowing, there is plenty of space in the closet for the trophy


- Instead of forcing Indian cricket fans to put pressure on cricketers to do well with anger, Sufiani comments after the defeat that 'this is the game after all. One team loses. This time the performance of the rival team was superior. Every time we whip up such a philosophy?

- Vividha-Bhaven Kutchi

- A cricketer like Kohli is worth enough to buy New Zealand's poorest cricket board in a single check: The Indian Cricket Board's annual revenue alone is Rs 3,800 crore. But does it make cricket a little super power?

The Indian cricket team lost to New Zealand in the final of the World Test Championship in just three and a half days. Cricket fans have every right to be frustrated and angry with the cricketers as it is because of the blind devotion of these fans that they have the wealth and fame that no other cricketer in the cricket world enjoys. Had there been Indian cricket fans like football from Europe or South America, storms would have erupted in the cities after witnessing India's humiliating defeat in the final. Even if cricket fans in India consider cricket and cricketers to be gods, it is a welcome thing that they do not feel intimidated to the extent that they become violent. More than one iconic player has been born in India every decade in terms of personal talent who has been ranked in the world rankings in terms of talent in the world of cricket but as a team Indian cricketers have given fans a rare opportunity to go out in public to celebrate like a national festival.

Rare achievement in 50 years

Counting in the last fifty years can be called five. Abroad, the series wins on the soil of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and the West Indies do not thrill fans as their team's level has risen to county level in the last five years. After India's successive defeats, fans have been joking that "now the Indian Cricket Board will arrange a series against countries like Sri Lanka and the West Indies."

Dominant like Bollywood stars

India have averaged one out of ten series wins on foreign soil against a team that can be called level. We have won the ICC event barely five times in 6 years. However, no country can break an unprecedented record of India due to the cricket craze of 120 crore citizens of India and that is the bursting (emerging) surface record of the cricket board's coffers. It is because of Indian cricket that the cricket world and other boards have survived. Not an exaggeration. Seeing the atmosphere for cricket and the money in it, even a Bollywood star can be jealous of a cricketer. There are not enough facilities for the Olympic Games but the infrastructure of cricket is excellent. Cricket is the only source of income. It is also adopted as a cricket career after the IPL.

Two team players

Today, at first glance, the situation is such that India has two teams that can be fielded for international cricket. The team led by Dhawan will play three ODIs and three T20I series against Sri Lanka in July. India's Test team, on the other hand, is currently in England with a separate team to play a five-Test series after the Test against New Zealand. Under Steve Waugh's captaincy, Australia enjoyed such a monarchy that their 'A' team seemed to be as strong as any other team in the world. But at the time, Steve Waugh's team was a one-wheeler in the world of cricket. Openers in the team, middle order. One or two of all-rounders is not a satisfactory option. The spinners at home win the cheers and the match is over in three days but despite being a cricketing country to this extent, India's fear as a team does not prevail. Even when there was a line-up of cricketers like Sachin, Sehwag, Ganguly, Dravid, Laxman, Yuvraj and Kumble, the team did not win consecutive Test series victories or ICC events. Compared to the one-to-one players of the rival team, our players are superior but the Indian team management should be concerned about why we, despite being the richest and richest cricket board in the world, have the captaincy of Lloyd, Richards or Mark Taylor, Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting. Could not become a supreme team like the Australian team.

New Zealand's population is 5 million

India cannot win against New Zealand, which now has a population of 3 million, whether it is the World Cup or the World Test Championship and the Test series on their soil. Suppose India wins a five-Test series against England now that they have won one Test, then the media will shine on the front page as if it is a great achievement, the players will start flying in the sky. It will also be licensed to lose the next two series. We must remember that New Zealand beat England 1-0 in the first two Test series before beating us in the World Test final. Now India must beat England by three Tests.

India tops in revenue

In the list of the richest cricket boards in the world, the New Zealand board is worth only Rs 210 crore, which means that cricketers like Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Dhoni can buy the entire New Zealand Cricket Board, ie all its cricketers and cricketers from its income. The annual income of the Indian Cricket Board is around Rs 200 crore. Rugby is the main sport in New Zealand. Australian Rules football is the number one game in Australia. Football is at the top in terms of popularity and craze in England. The new generation of West Indies has shifted to America and are making a career in basketball and baseball. Tennis players from other countries who play cricket also play in Grand Slams. They win medals in football and Olympic events. Against this, India has won only one individual gold medal in its Olympic history. India does not qualify in major events of tennis or football. The same is true in cricket now.

If the Indian Cricket Board assumes, only other cricket boards or the ICC can buy. Even now, indirectly, it is all in the outer court. After the IPL, India has become a benefactor of other countries.

New Zealand 'Lagan' team

Yet the Indian cricket board loses to poor nations like their cricketing people. Just as Bhuvan's poor and exploited team wins against the British team of 'Lagan', India is king and the New Zealand team now looks to become champions by playing the role of Bhuvan. New Zealand's victory should not be seen as a stumbling block as even in the World Cup, their lead has been better than India's and they have beaten India. It is said that no matter how much gold you are willing to pay, you cannot win a gold medal. For Indian cricket, we can say that even if the cricketers are worth between Rs 200 crore and Rs 500 crore, the ICC title or the performance on foreign soil cannot be bought.

India's dwarf critics

When a resourceful and god-like team like India wins four times and loses once or twice or becomes an occasional champion in the ODI World Cup and loses in between, critics, former cricketers and some passionate fans say, 'In a game, defeat is victory. The game itself is a festival of enjoyment. The team that plays well that day wins .. Life goes on .. Now over to the next event 'is fair and forgivable but in India the temptation to get different contracts from IPL or Cricket Board So can't even former players from abroad slam the performance of the Indian team.

Cricketers like Dhoni and now Kohli and Rohit Sharma want to have a voice in the board and in the IPL and all want to be in their good books. A class of media also came in this. They just sprinkle the knowledge that has been eroded for years as if India loses, that is, if there is a victory in a game. Rewinds old video of Kohli's greatness and winning record.

Fans also loose

A large section of cricket fans also expressed their displeasure on social media instead of venting their ire: "Defeat is part of the game. India only lost on the last day (in a two-and-a-half day game). The rest of the team played entertaining and delicious cricket. This was the victory of Test cricket. "Whether we lose the ODI or T20 World Cup or not, this cowardly rhetoric has been going on for years abroad. Indian cricketers must be exposed by critics and the media." They deserve it.

If a student brings less than five per cent, the home and society will laugh or criticize him as he starts thinking suicidal thoughts but the system protects Indian cricketers from criticism for the sake of self-interest. Even naive fans are fascinated by such bhurki. With such pomp and circumstance, it is difficult to say when Indian cricket will rule the cricket world.
