Cricket and India, both have an unimaginable strong bond. There Are Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, etc etc and then there are cricketers or cricket lovers, it is just like another religion in India and it may sound unfair to you but the heart of every cricket fan beats for the gentlemen’s game. The one true love of their life is cricket and they love the thrill that the game brings to their life.

It is just crazy how enormous of people flock to the stadiums to support and cheer for their favourite cricketers and there are many who love to hook on to their television screens to watch the match while there is a whole different world out there which has nothing to do with the game.

Biting their nails out in the excitement or screaming their throats out in between the game is just a normal activity to a cricket fanatic.

Over the years India has evolved and achieved a lot. Our nation has won the World Championship in the 50-over format twice and World T20 championship once. The Indian cricketers are all set to play their 500th match in the test format of the game and BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) brought something for the Cricket fans that will definitely cheer them up.
