Cricket craze in India
Craze, courage, fear, fantasy, win and the list goes on of words that have found entry in the cricket lexicon. What do these words signify in their association with the world of cricket? Craze to grab the accessories of the favorite cricketers, courage to postpone the important activities, fear of losing the match when 6 runs are required on the last ball, fantasy of imagining oneself among the big names of cricket and skipping meals and praying for the last match win that can balance the series.

The Story of India

I call it crazy because cricket is another religion in India. Indians of every age have a tendency to play cricket. Street cricket played by children is a sight to watch. A small bat and a rubber ball is the starter for almost every Indian child. Then it goes on to playing cricket on holidays, mostly Sundays on a ground. Such matches are either friendly or there is some award or money on it. I remember, when I was in standard 7, I was the player of my village team. We used to have matches against a near by village, and you won’t believe, the winning team would carry Rs. 11/-. And this Rs. 11/- consisted of Rs. 1/- collected from every player of the team. Sometimes, who couldn’t afford (yeah!) Rs. 1/- couldn’t play cricket, no matter how good he is!
