Cricket the most exhilarating
sport which is being loved by it’s millions or trillions of fans or it wouldn’t
be wrong to call them devotees specially in a country like ours where food can
be shunned by the people but not cricket and they take it exceptionally
seriously. Whereas our cricketers never fail to take their supporters on the
verge of suspense and thrill. An ideal example of devotion to the cricket has
been shown by the young blood of Pakistan who are fond of polishing their
cricket skills by playing street cricket as they lack professional academies,
many big names in the world of cricket like Muhammad Amir, Hassan Ali, Shoaib
Akhtar, Waseem Akram these all have come from an indistinguishable background.
Our very own Pakistan cricket team has turned over a new leaf in the just passed
ICC Cricket Tournament and won the champions trophy and left us spellbound by
showing their tremendous performance in the finale. The best part was the
opponent team which needs no introduction, yes you got it right India. The
neighboring country thought that it would be trouble-free to play against
Pakistan but all their thoughts and strategies ended in smoke when team Pakistan
stepped in the ground with all the confidence and made it to the top by putting
their heart into the game. The talented young boys of the national team have
profoundly played and retained everybody enthusiastic throughout the match and
ultimately brought the wining trophy at home. There was a scream of the many
jubilant fans all around the stadium when the trophy was handed over to the
wining team captain Sarfaraz Ahmed who also witnessed a barrage of criticism for
his English throughout the tournament but who cares when the same personage has
done the nation proud.
It was a game full of amusement and pleasure especially when it comes to
India/Pak match people get exuberant and take a ride in a rollercoaster of
disappointment, passion, love and anger. However, some overrated actors and
former cricketers turned it into a war by being impertinent with the players,
but not to forget our very own social media played a notable role in inciting
the people from both the countries against each other by making memes and short
videos just to let each other down. Earlier the term “Baap beta” was coined by
renowned actor from the neighboring country and then a war of words began
between the two. Why don’t they realize that a deserving team is going to win
but you people will surely let your country down by your illiterate acts and
gestures.
But on the other side of the coin the players who apt to be more pressurized on
the field are totally different off the field as they prove to be true sportsmen
they don’t accuse each other for anyone’s defeat but some over enthusiastic
fans, politicians and actors make it a matter of ego so they did it again.
A game should always be considered a game so that we can count on it for our
entertainment and some pleasurable moments rather than being on an ego trip or
mocking each other every time they frolic on the field.
