Sports has been a really crucial part of my childhood as I have played in district level badminton competitions. But there are some sports which I have only watched but have never played myself. And here I am going to talk about one such sport which is cricket. Growing up in India, cricket was more just than a sport. It was a passion that was shared by millions of people all across the country. There are many famous Indian cricketers like Virat Kohli, Jaspreet Bumra and Mahindra Singh Dhoni. My father and my brother are really huge cricket fans. So since childhood I was kind of forced to watch it with them. But as I grew up my interest in cricket grew with me. This sport always intrigued me. The concept of involving 7-11 players in a team was very fascinating. And recently during the IPL which is also commonly Indian Premier League, it is a very big sports program where different teams all over the India play cricket. And we wanted to watch it so we together as a family went to see the live cricket match in the stadium. And the experience was very new for me. People were very enthusiastic. They were cheering for their particular state team and it was very fascinating to watch it. There are various renowned teams like Australia, New Zealand and Pakistan. But I like my Indian cricket team the most. All in all this sport is very interesting and I hope to play it once down the road.
