I am hearing since long that Indian
cricketers of this generation are not down to earth but they are arrogant and
ready to fight with the opponents in any which way. Compared to previous
cricket generations these boys are very aggressive and lacks patience while
playing the sport. I don’t feel this is
anything bizarre. Our sportsmen represent the country, the state of the
country, the might of our country.
After
independence we were considered as the third world, underdeveloped nation. We lacked
confidence. Slowly we started growing whole as a country. If we compare country’s
strength in terms of economy or the position in the world politics and our
cricket, it resembles at great extent. In 60s and 70s more than half of the
team was from Mumbai and major economic development was also there in Mumbai. Eventually we see the other parts of the
country developing in every sector and in cricket we won our first world cup. During
that period our focus was just saving the test matches from losing and but not
winning them.
During
the period of liberalization the master blaster was playing with absolute liberty
and demolishing every great bowler of that time. India was going through major economic
changes with internet bubble entering the sub continent. Correspondingly
players like Dravid and Dada were excellent knocks on the Home of cricket
(Lords). Anil Kumble bowled a phenomenal by taking 10 wickets of our arch
rivals in the single inning.
On
the advent of 21st century Indian team reached final in world cup
2003. India was rapidly getting technological advanced day by day. There was a
fast penetration of mobiles into the telephone industry. India became 10th
largest economy in that duration. This was never imagined some 50 years before.
India as a whole was gaining confidence in every segment. Abhinav Bhindra won a
Gold medal for India in Olympics. This was never done before by any Indian.
Now
India has reached such a level in so many sectors that we can afford to be an arrogant
and a dominating country. We are no more underdogs. We can send Space shuttle
successfully on Mars with the expenditure equals to one Hollywood film. We won
6 medals in Olympics. Saina Nehwal manages to be on the apex position in the
game of badminton. The second richest film star is from India. Indian PM
getting so much attention and love all over the world is so delighting. Many great personas from various regions and
fields visit India as they see a big market with high consuming power. We reached
rank 1 in Test ranking by defeating every possible team in the world. This tremendous
achievement brings massive confidence and our sportsmen should carry this while
playing on the field. SO INDIA BE AGGRESSIVE BE ARROGANT.
