Indian cricket is not as loud as it sounds

- If you look at the record book, you will be shocked to know India's record on foreign soil

- Horizon-Bhaven Kutchi

- The current team's achievement that India won 50 years at the Oval Ground is also a disgrace to the history of Indian cricket: just add a little imagination.

- Apart from India, the teams of other countries have become very normal. The new generation is increasingly attracted to cricket leagues or other sports

India have beaten England in the fourth Test to take a 2-1 lead in the series. Despite England taking an eight-run lead, memories of the way India won will forever be etched on by Indian cricket fans. That was the victory under Kohli's captaincy and he also deserves to be able to keep his collar high. However, winning this Test at the Oval also added to the record that India won a Test match at the Oval after 20 years! With such headlines, the auspicious intention of having to be covered in the media was to applaud the achievement of the current team but at the same time it was shocking that we did not win at the Oval for 20 years. Perhaps even Kohli's team knew after the victory that then Cricket Board President Sourav Ganguly, who once led a team with a strong batting line-up, would have been embarrassed to know for the first time that the Oval's victory was 10, 12, 3 or 6. Not a year later but a full fifty years later, the current team slammed the five-decade-old captain and players of the so-called 50-year-old big-headed team, saying: Not only have you made the most feared or invincible team in the world of cricket, but you have barely won a Test or a series in decades.

The helplessness of the media personnel is that if India wins a Test or a series, then the headline 'India has made history..win abroad after so many decades' has to be given. The glorious story of 'History' will continue on TV all day long. History knows how cheap we made it. The history of Indian cricket, Olympics or other fields is still beginning in the 21st century. Coincidence is also worth seeing. India won the first Test series on English soil for the first time in 191 under the captaincy of Ajit Wadekar. The history was made in the month of August and only last month the media gave coverage to commemorate the golden jubilee of India's series victory. The image of Wadekar and his teammates waving from the balcony of the Oval to the delight of Indian fans is known as the 'Epic Archive'.

The first series victory of India on English soil in 191 was recorded in the Oval Test. Look at the curvature of the ritual, India could not win 12 Tests played at the Oval in the next 20 years. The last five decades leading up to the Golden Jubilee were the only tigers on paper that opened the poll. Gavaskar, Bedi, Kapil Dev, Azhar, Sachin, Kumble and Ganguly, Dhoni or Kohli's team has not had much success. Although Sehwag, Tendulkar, Ganguly, Dravid and Laxman, Dhoni, Kumble and Zaheer Khan are all in the same team, India has made history in the world of cricket. Not raised. Cricket is a religion in India.

The media has given maximum coverage to cricket. Cricketers are worshiped as gods. Cricketers have been earning enough to make celebrities jealous for the last two decades. Cricket in other sports has been neglected for the last five decades. It can also be said that the treasury of the cricket board feeds the cricket boards and cricketers of other countries. The boards of South Africa, New Zealand, West Indies and Sri Lanka can probably buy our top cricketers. However, India have shown such a consistent dominance over the last fifty years that the rival team has not been able to instill the fear that the series felt before. In countries like Australia and England, there is a sports culture of sports other than cricket.

Remains in the top ten in hockey, swimming, Olympic sports and medal tally. Even though India is immersed in an environment like 'Eat Cricket, Drink Cricket, Whisper Cricket and Sleep Cricket', it seems that they are taking the world team seriously. Cricket does not have money, career, glamor and infrastructure in India. Even after this Olympics, the younger generation will probably be interested in other sports. The IPL has also contributed, serving the dream of becoming a cricketer from a young age in India. Cricketers will continue to reap the rewards. If you look at teams from other countries and look at the level of the team and the players in the previous five or ten year slabs, you will realize that each team has only two or three players who are truly international or previous. The new generation of South Africans, England, Australia, New Zealand and the West Indies are not adopting cricket at all. You compare the teams of these countries in the 80's, 2000's, 2010's and the current decade. Seven out of eleven players have to form a team due to lack of proper options.

Earlier, cricket fans could have mentioned the names of 11 or 16 players from the teams of South Africa, Bangladesh, West Indies and Sri Lanka. Can you do that today Think of their level if the name comes up. The same can be said for Australia and England. The younger generation of cricketing nations prefer basketball, car racing, golf, other sports and finally settling in America. Join the academy or make a career in coaching. Obtaining a visa from another country to earn while playing in a sports league.

Despite the status of cricketing nations, India has no supremacy in foreign tournaments or in ICC tournaments. All the victories of Kapil Dev, Azhar or Ganguly, Dhoni and the rest of the team are in front of our eyes, whether it is a series victory or a victory on a ground for the first time in three decades or on a ground. Decades after such a victory are going to put a pause for another victory. Even our cricket fans are naive and satisfied that even if they make a history of winning on the ground in a few years, if they don't win for another five years, they will leave the team on lease.

Despite having the backing and atmosphere of cricket to this extent in India and a mine with a line-up of the world's top batsmen, India have won the ODI World Cup twice. They have not won two World Cups in 2011 and in the last two years after 19. Imagine India's huge batting line-up and team, then you will say that this is called 'Nam Bade Darshan Khote'. India, the birthplace of the IPL, has won the T20 World Cup only once out of six, in 2006. After the era of IPL, Indian players roar at home. Their personal profile is also huge but they have not become champions.

Now know the record of India's Test series victory on foreign soil. India have won the Test series in England three times so far, 191, 18 and 2009. That is, only three series victories in 20 years. If India wins the final Test of the current series, the media is buzzing with the headline that 'India made history by winning the series in England after 15 years.' Fans will be shocked to know that India won its first Test series in Australia in the 2016-17 series. After that, India won the series for the second time in a row in 2020-2021. (This is how history is made now). Will have to experience one more shock.

On New Zealand soil, India have won only two Test series 12-2 and then in the 30 years straight from 2006-2007. The West Indies team deteriorated after 2000 consecutive years. After 190-191, India won the Test series in the West Indies for 3 years. Yes, after that the three series have won against a very weak team. Alas, even in Sri Lanka, India won the series in 19-19, 2016-2017 and 2016. Compare the Sri Lankan team of the past and the present. It took 3 years to win the second series there after 19. Still a shocker. India have played seven Test series in South Africa but have not won a single one.

India have played 15 Tests in South Africa, winning just two. Yes, a pleasant record for India is that India has won the Test series 21 times on foreign soil, out of which 12 Test series have been won since the year 2000. However, it includes four Test series against the weaker West Indies, two against Sri Lanka, three against Bangladesh, one against Pakistan and one against Zimbabwe. In 20 years, the main team has won two Tests against Australia, one against England and one against New Zealand abroad. New Zealand also beat India in the ICC Test Championship final.

Now that the teams in the cricket world are getting weaker, the new generation abroad is more interested in the IPL and the T20 leagues played in other countries, so India's record on foreign soil should be like a monopoly. Just think if India wins the Oval again in 20 years, it will be 2021 and the centenary of the first victory of 191 will be celebrated. Let's hope the Indian cricket team doesn't give the media a chance to headline 'history is made' in this way.
