A DIFFERENT WORLD CUP WHERE WE ALL ARE PLAYERS

A DIFFERENT WORLD CUP WHERE WE ALL ARE PLAYERS

Instead of indulging in idle hero-worship of cricketing idols, fans should absorb their life lessons, especially their disciplined hard work, and put them into practice in their own lives. Then each one becomes a representative of the country, a force to reckon with, and a contributory factor in the national life which is the larger cricketing sport being played on the pitch of the world, nations competing with nations in the continuous World Cup whose league matches are in progress. In this game despite many injuries we have survived yet and ought to duly carry on. Upon us rests the responsibility that our country does not get knocked out of the tournament in its penultimate and ultimate phases. We are all donning the India cap and must honour it. Ours is to score heavily and contribute to the national output so that our time-tested nation may lift the World Cup whose fate over millenia is yet to be decided.
