It’s being often said here , “Cricket is a religion in India”, and that set me thinking. The just-concluded India-Australia One-Day International series could very well have been the summary of the “faith” of the religious Indian cricket fans.
Well, the 1st One-Day International was a practice match for Indians. After all, how could we expect the Indian cricket team to adjust to home conditions so soon.
The 2nd One-Day International proved that Indian Cricket was a monotheistic religion where MS Dhoni was the sole deity.
The 3rd One-Day International re-affirmed the omnipresence of the sole diety.
The 4th One-Day International dethroned MS Dhoni, and elevated Sachin Tendulkar up the pedestal.
The 5th One-Day International catapulted Sachin Tendulkar to near-immortal status, even though India tasted dirt.
The 6th One-Day International kicked everybody off the list.
Well, the Original Creator told everybody who was boss when the 7th One-Day International was rained out.
Karl Marx once said, “Religion is the opium of the people”. Well, the Indian cricket fans seem to be high on cheap dope.
Cheers !!! 😀
