Indian crickerts create history by winning the 20-20 world cup. They made india proud !!! inturn they were loaded with prizes and offers !!! Media makes them heroes of country. BCCI offers them extra crores for beating australia in 20-20. But do they really deserve all this?? The answer may be no, just because their performance is not constant throughout. The tour of Australia in india and playing 7 one day’s out of which one match got abandened due to rains. The second and the third match india loose, but india still had the chance of drawing the series or may be even winning it. Then india wins the fourth one day, and expectations increase that india will mark the series in their name. But in the fifth one day india looses the match and so looses the series. The final match is scheduled today, but now there are no issues whether india wins or looses. Still people are crazy about the match and are ready to pay any amount for a seat in the stadium. This attitude of people make the cricketers feel that they haven’t lost anything so they even don’t bother. If today india looses today then too they will be heroes of the people.

Just because the indian cricketers are hyped so much the other sports are looked over. Hockey, which is our national game is payed less attention and not given much importance to the hockey players. But still they perfrom better and people ignore them. Not only hockey, india also has a billiard champion- “Pankaj Advani”. He has been four times world champion, many people even might not be knowing the sport properly.

Recently viswanathan anand became the world chess champiion for the second time but was not given due credit of his achievement. These sports person are awarded as the cicketers are, so is it really fair on their part???

I think there should be some restrictions on the cricketers and the type of funding they are given and every sport should be given equal importance, then only sports in india will evolve with a bigger picture.
