Death of Cricket in India
Money *rains cats and dogs when cricketers, celebrities & business tycoons come together to exploit the situation i.e. in this case ‘auctioning (selling) of cricketers’ in Indian Premier League(I.P.L.)Total of 80 players (mostly Indians excluding 5 permanent members) were sold not on current form but only on marketing of individual cricketer. No wonder topmost international players are much behind than some of ordinary players of our country. This looks ridiculous.
Auctioning the cricket players may be an interesting innovation but not many people are happy with it. Yes it has already spoiled the game itself; also the old players who are more concerned about personal records; & new ones who prefer to be auctioned rather than putting efforts & becoming great players. So future of cricket in India will be very poor unless one stops these selling & buying tactics. Indian Cricket will lose class & charm built so nicely by C.K.Naidu;Vinu Mankad;Pataudis ; Kapil Dev;Gavaskar;Vishwanath;& Vensarkar.
These problems cannot be solved now since in India cricket has gone in the hands of those(politicians ;businessmen & Industrialists; )who do not know how to hold bat.*
