Indian Cricket Beyond the Boundary
Cricket. This one word has the power to bring the
entire nation of 1.3 billion people to a
standstill. The best example of this is the 2011
ICC World Cup. Everyone was glued to their
television screens, as it was a match that
brought India to the edge of their seats. The
winning six of the then-captain, Mahendra Singh
Dhoni, will live with us forever. Even today,
anyone who hears Mr. Ravi Shastris iconic
commentary, Dhoni, finishes it off in style
India lifts the World Cup after 28 years, gets
goosebumps and the very next moment fills our
hearts with pride. This is the love that Indians
have for the game. To us Indians, cricket is
more than just a game of bat and ball played
between two teams it is a religion that brings
together communities and we celebrate it as a
festival. Furthermore, cricket has evolved much
beyond being a gentlemans game. It has gained a
huge fan following and seen some massive
transformations, such as the introduction of new
forms like T20 and other leagues, which have
made the game more interesting and appealing to
the masses. As a result of this introduction,
more people wanted to stay up-to-date on game
developments and to learn more about cricket and
its administration. However, there were very few
resources available online for cricket
administration. Recognizing this gap, IISM took
steps to fill it. This is not the first time that
IISM has attempted to bridge the gap in the
sporting world.
