Cricket: More Than a Game, an Emotion


What are your favorite sports to watch and play?

During my school years, I actively participated in various sports like Kabaddi and Kho-Kho. At home, we often played Gully Cricket. However, I couldn’t maintain this habit after school, and my involvement in sports gradually narrowed down to trekking and running. I wouldn’t consider myself much of a sports player, but as an Indian, cricket is more than just a sport—it’s a religion and I love to watch cricket. I follow it religiously and am much more emotionally invested in it. Especially during World Cup days, you would find me hooked up to TV or Mobile screen , watching cricket all the time.
