The Cricket fraternity after 2019 World cup is in a tizzy when one could hear after every other day retirement of some great and key players from their home team. Cricket as a game gives you money at a high level and the kick comes with crowded stadium giving the echo of a Roman colosseum. The star players from all over the world perform at different levels and coming out spic and span out of this game which has been a part of controversies which could be match-fixing, sledding, monkey-gate and the Ashes controversy among with poor umpiring and the ICC bend the rule game has made it much of the murkier ones in the recent past.
People say that the likes of Sir Sachin Tendulkar may have come out without any controversy but he also got surrounded by the cases of ball-tampering and few other minor controversies which engulfed his cricket career along with booing by the home crowd putting pressure on him. This year during the world cup Dhoni's glove was much of the controversy as he was getting a slippery hand which cost him few catches and he has to change the Logo on his glove which was from his Paratroopers regiment by Indian Territorial Army. Also, the Wag team which is wife and girl-friend who are associated with big matches and are a reason for the cameraman to focus on them makes another way of showing off some style and elegance in the stadium and the world media covering their antics.
Although, I was very much interested in the Cricket but gradually my own participation in Marathon after many years of my life when the players start hanging the boots and the favorite adage of leaving nation's duty to move towards family duty makes me a bit fill with humor. After strengthening the muscles and acquiring superpower in the mind which comes only after severe practice which is akin to rigorous ways of drills and another exercise when the time comes to continue towards some super-sport our beloved cricketers make a solemn face as they have given a bad part of their life to the game of cricket. They do not have any air's attached to them but certainly, their poker face makes you belittle and in the second phase of their life they do not come-up as smart as the likes of Shri Ravi Shastri or Shri Kapil Dev and move towards their business empire making themselves more lonely and away from the society as the menfolks surround them with taunts about their fame and money while the women start looking for another copulation with them to have a kid like the as beautiful as Sachin or Dhoni ( Sorry to put the name of greats here which is just an example) which gives them maybe a new way to enjoy the beauty of women.
Instead of all these art of living oneself and getting into the culture of enjoying the controversy surrounding them, they should try to adopt some new game which should remind of their childhood days when they were more inclined towards any other game. Games like Football and other such team sports at the national level do not require much of the time where the game is for 90 minutes and people like Shri Dhoni jee if he spends 15 minutes in the football field will lift the game after retirement although his retirement days are not yet to come. One could surely understand the change he has bought to Ranchi as the city was sleeping beautiful but it has certainly come up with lifted spirits and Bollywood along with his thoughts have given a changeover to the city which is a beautiful way to lift your own locality by a player that shows him as a man of steel.
Certainly, he is an example to the nation and he should be emulated by players of different country to put development first in mind and uplifting the children of their locality which is already done by him in the form of Dhoni Cricket Academy which is opened till Quwait thus putting him in the world greats within no time.
P.S: The Athletics Federation of India has urged the players at various levels to put their details on the website along with their achievements through the state they represent. This could help new players to come up and represent themselves at district and national level. The link could be found through this particular weblink: https://indianathletics.in/
