Cricket is a gentleman’s game, the lights of Garfield Sobers, Gavaskar, Clive Llyod, Sir Don Bradman, Sachin , Brain Charles Lara clearly make this adage true. For India Cricket is more than just a game, I will call a religion that has no caste associated with it. Folks around the globe, follow the game with same passion. Well there have been controversies for this game, giving it a black star, nevertheless still cricket is in hearts of million of people.
The spirit of any game is put down when we try to destroy its integrity. Stars like Cronje, Azzarudin will always be remembered for what they did. Still the spec of corruption is present in the game, and for the matter of fact it will remain, when there is a huge following there are chances people to do some acts that are not accepted.
A new turnaround took place when India launched IPL- t20 for the first time, a new dimension to the sports was added, giving the chance to domestic players and international player to play at the same platform. The plan was perfect as the domestic players will grow in confidence and improve the standard of game. Skills apart, the concept will generate revenue, many domestic player who end up playing Ranji and walking away bare handed will now have lofty bank balance.
Corruption has its own strange ways to peep in to the system, speculation were made for the bidding of teams, that some under table transaction are going, but no proofs, until the kochi owner rendezvous sports declared what stunned the whole cricket community.
The owner were bullied by the minister to walk away from the bidding podium with a bribe of $50 million. Clearly if the IPL- committee can offer this huge chunk of money, we can expect what it would be getting in return.
Well I know this is just a news that will route every television, ear, news paper for a day, a week or may be a month, we Indians have very poor memory and soon we will be watching the IPL matches with a mug of beer of pop-corn in our hand. What is sad that level of corruption has creep-ed in so depth that nothing can escape from it, even the game like cricket, which is the next religion for the country.
