1 of the famous game of my home country, which I have just got the chance to watch, but I have never played myself. It’s crooked. They are famous player all around the world from India who plays cricket. Some of them are Virat Kohli, I’m as Tony, Ravindraja, Bumbra. These are some of the famous players and personality who have huge fan following on different social media accounts, and they are also wealthy people. Moreover, This game is National Sports of India, England, and Australia. As India was colonized before, an England rule in India for 200 years. So Indian started playing this game watching English people and also became the national game of India. So, basically, India has 2 national games, hockey, and cricket, which is also a little bit strange for me. Moreover, I like admiring this game because there are 11 players in each team, and it is recognized worldwide. So there There are a lot of famous teams which play this game. 1 of those teams are some of those teams are Australia, England, Zimbabwe, West Indies, India, Pakistan, and the biggest rivals of these schemes are India and Pakistan. I also think that most of the tickets which are sold for these games are basically from the match which is between India and Pakistan and the match which is between England and Australia. So this is another interesting fact. Apart from this, this franchisee, which is run by International Cricket Council, they take care of all the rules and which are needed to be followed, and they also sponsor players for different campaigns. And currently, Viratco is the brand ambassador of Cricket, uh, Internationally, and he’s also Advocating Cricket to be played in Olympics, and it is under the review, but let’s see what happens in the future. Thank you.

One of the famous games in my home country, which I've only had the chance to watch, but never played myself, is cricket. It's a truly captivating sport. There are world-renowned players from India, like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, and Jasprit Bumrah. These individuals are not only skilled athletes but also global icons with massive fan followings on social media. They are incredibly wealthy and influential figures. Interestingly, cricket is the national sport of India, England, and Australia. This connection stems from India's colonial history, where England ruled for over 200 years. Indians began playing cricket after observing the English, and it eventually became a national pastime. It's a bit unusual for India to have two national sports, hockey being the other. I find cricket fascinating because it involves 11 players per team and enjoys global recognition. There are numerous renowned teams, including Australia, England, Zimbabwe, West Indies, India, and Pakistan. The biggest rivalry in the sport is between India and Pakistan, and matches between these two nations are always highly anticipated. The tickets for these games are in high demand, especially for India-Pakistan clashes and England-Australia encounters. The International Cricket Council (ICC) governs the sport, overseeing rules and regulations, and sponsoring players for various campaigns. Currently, Virat Kohli is the brand ambassador for cricket internationally, and he's actively advocating for its inclusion in the Olympics. This proposal is under review, and it will be interesting to see what the future holds. Thank you.
