I am sure the title already fetched me few angry readers and a lot of haters. Yes, I am an Indian and I hate cricket. I hate this game as I feel it’s just an overrated game with billions of mad, hypocrites self proclaimed fans. I call them hypocrite because had you been a genuine lover of the game, you would never burn an Indian flag or the cricketers photo or call them names when the team lost and come up with ‘I bleed blue’ slogans when they win.
With the end of the world cup 2015 all over the world, I am glad the cricket madness has finally come to an end in India. No more wasting crores of money on betting, no more huge LED screens , no more huge crowds in front of every TV set on the road, no more billions of people giving up their job to see eleven people doing their job and no more overflow of emotion. It is funny how a country like ours which is divided into clusters on various reasons like caste, creed, color, sex, region and religion unites on one single self proclaimed ‘religion’, cricket. People in India are okay with hearing to ‘I hate democracy’, ‘I hate political parties’, ‘I hate Bhagat Singh’, ‘I hate God’, ‘I hate Mahatma Gandhi, and worst of all ‘I hate India’ but it’s considered to be a hideous crime when someone says ‘I hate cricket’. Thanks to Section 66A, I won’t be sued for writing this.
It was foolish to see many people mock Ram Gopal Verma after his recent tweet about he hating cricket and people who follow it. India is a democratic country and people are free to express themselves. No one points at someone who says ‘I love cricket’ then why so much havoc over someone hating cricket? Oh by the way, does anyone remember that hockey is the national game of India and we do have a women cricket team as well.
Finally, congratulations to the Australian team; heard the team played really well and to all the Indian cricket players who made a good fortune and media for your striking high TRP’S and readership. Coming to the billion Indians who are pretty disappointed, , now that WE GAVE IT BACK, get back to your ordinary life and work because watching cricket has not made you any richer or even happier this time.
