Cricket has been the thrilling and exciting game both to play and to
watch. Out of all other sports news covered in mass media, cricket news
in the most read and watched in India. The game brings in the team
spirit, promotes discipline, helps to upsurge character and brings out
the quality of leadership.
Despite, India being a
hockey-playing nation, where Indians used to emerge as hockey champions,
why is it that every match of cricket thrills audience and compel them
to leave all other things and get fixed in front of their TV’s? Why is
it that Street, offices, schools run empty on a day of India-Pakistan
super sensitive match anywhere in the world?
In the mid-20th
century, hockey was among the most liked sports, however, with the
passage of time its craze faded out. Cricket emerged to be the most
engaging and widely watched sport in the latter half of century. Today,
India without cricket is incomplete. Fanaticism for cricket is
apparently in the blood of Indians. From school goers to a teenager, or
older generation, for all cricket is the biggest fad.
Cricket has
been the lucrative business too. Players in this field earn huge figure
and also the highly popular Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)
is one of the multi billionaire sports authorities of the world.
Acknowledged

sports news which contributed fifty percent of cricket news while
another fifty percent emphasizes on other sport. TV news channels and
online media cover each and every update on cricket news. In-fact, the
new media i.e. internet enables you to know per minute scores of your
favorite series of match.
