Hello all, All of you must have watched India-Sri Lanka Final cricket match for ICC Cricket World Cup held at Wankhede, Mumbai yesterday as I did. It was a very interesting match with lots of ups and downs and breath stopping moments. I enjoyed it thoroughly as every one of you did. Kudos to Mr Dhoni and every other player of the team including Mr Sachin Tendulkar.
After the match was over, I was watching some news channels where every body was discussing cricket [obviously] and beaming clips of euphoria across the country. Today morning when I switch on the TV, every Chanel was beaming the same story with breaking news in between about the announcement of rewards by various state Governments to their players. Uttarakhand Govt will give houses to Mr Dhoni and Tendelkur in Mussori, Rajasthan offered free ride on place on wheels, Karnataka offered free plots to all the players, UP govt announces Kashiram international award to players, Gujrata also announced rewards including Hariyana and Delhi government. It was in addition to the reward offered by BCCI.
Though players deserves applause and rewards for the brilliant show but is this much Euphoria justified or it is a over reaction. what about other games?? what about our National Game Hockey??? IS there any body to care???
Indian corporates have already infused huge amount of money in to Cricket which is taking care of every requirement of Indian Cricket team therefore I don't think that there is any need to give government patronage. Notional rewards are enough to the Cricket players. There is a need to patronise other Games. Even BCCI can give some of its profit to other game management. Every Indian can't afford to play Cricket and it is also not possible. Corporates must promote other games so that talent can be attracted to other games also. Therefore I am of the opinion that on the winning of Cricket World Cup, Euphoria is ok but over reaction to this victory is not at all justified. It is mere a Game and not everything....Keep on blogging..
