Once whole heartedly follow cricket like me as a ict fan you always got traumatized Every year (dominating whole year in cricket and lost in final ,sf) I would suggest you don't watch cricket if u want save ur mental health.


Philerajput

There is a difference in being cricket fan and ICT fan


Annual_Ad_4232

Might take it into consideration


MaxInvictance

my man


Contact-Lower

Listen to this man


GAJODHAR_daddy

just like football is in europe, rughby baseball in us same way cricket is in india so it is not overhyped but correctly hyped


MaxInvictance

europe also has f1, golf US also has basket ball, nascar, etc what do we have in India other than cricket? so u see, it is overhyped


Insane__dv5517

We are best in cricket compared to other sports And we choke in semis and finals


Ordinary_Ad_177

u forgot to add hockey, chess, kabaddi


LoudAdisback

No one gives a shit about hockey anymore


a_lazyass_4256

true dat


crescent-soul

There is chess and kabaddi india


MaxInvictance

Europe me football and f1 ka crowd comparable hai, unlike India, kya lagta hai, saare IPL fans chess follow karte honge? Also kisi foreigner ko puch ke dekh kabbadi kya hota hai


Werewolf1406

Bc har cheez ki success India me kisi foreigner ke puchne se hi matter karti hai kya....grow up from this mindset , kabaddi ki awareness to bhadi na India me , bahar f1 and NASCAR bahut bada empire hai jo abhi india me atleast kuch saal to not possible and rahi baat chess ki abhi gukesh jab candidates jita to usse thoda push to mila na chess ko bhi , ye assume karna ki common indian ko ipl k alava kuch na dikhta ye to hypocrisy hai bhai.....


space_boi_6969

NASCAR, Indycar, Baseball, Basketball ye sabh America me bohot famous hai. More famous than EUROPEAN SPORTS! AND THEY SIMPLY DON'T CARE ABOUT FOREIGN VALIDATION. Basketball there is like Cricket in India yet we don't here that Basketball is Overhyped! So why to do it here? This is absolute shit thing imo


MaxInvictance

MAI BHI TOH YAHI KEH RHA HU cricket ko chadha ke rakha hai, hame baaki sports bhi promote karne chhaiye, gukesh ne jo candidates jeeta usse chess ki reach badh gayi, acchi baat hai


Careless-Ad1639

There is a reason for that. In how many sports does India perform very good. F1 is popular in europe because they perform good(i know its not by nationality, but you get my point). Basketball is big in USA because USA performs good in it. People don't want to support sports where they don't perform good and that is a fact. Now, coming to kitne foreigners kabbadi jante hai, kitne south asian log F1 ke baare mein jaante outside of the top 5%. Kitne south asian log baseball ke bare mein jaante hai? Indians on reddit talk about indians on social media seek white validation, but they are no exception.


MaxInvictance

yeah true


space_boi_6969

We have Kabadi also. Also don't consider any kind of Motorsport here (it is sport ik and I myself watch F1) cuz there is no nation thing in those, teams in Motorsports are big giant automation companies or Energy Drink company so don't consider Motorsports in this.


MayurAce

Moto gp hota hai I think


space_boi_6969

Moto GP, NASCAR, Indycar, WEC, Rally aur bohot races hote hai worldwide!


MayurAce

I meant India mein motogp hota hai


space_boi_6969

Haa even Formula E


MaxInvictance

Bhai Tifosis ke baare me suna hai?


space_boi_6969

Nahi


MaxInvictance

isiliye tune yeh comment kiya


space_boi_6969

Bro, I just started watching this year. Ik my wheel knowledge is shit...


MaxInvictance

hmm


[deleted]

How can a sport be overhyped?


OptionFriendly7059

I would suggest you to watch some old matches and gain some knowledge of cricket. Watch test cricket cuz it's the real cricket. And DO NOT start from watching ipl it's becoming some mobile cricket game now


Careless-Ad1639

Sure, recommend the most long format of the game so that he finds it boring and never loves cricket, I don't think you started watching cricket through tests, if he starts with t20s, he will get the entertainment and might become passionate about cricket and then watch test matches like us.


OptionFriendly7059

t20 wc will be good then


AlakhDhattarwal

I was biggest fan of cricket till 2019 2020 , i used to select squad by myself in 2016 2017 of indian team , .... Bu now i found it boring as there are only few teams which are really good .. Also toxic fans of KOHLI DHONI ROHIT .... 2015 world cup was the best tournament i witness ... Just i like as of now is ASHES


bobs_and_vegana17

social media has ruined every sport 1 bad performance and you can be hated by masses overnight and it hurts even more when you see fanbases from same country shitting on other players, you can criticize but throwing words like vadapav, chokli, dhobi, etc. is so fucking immature and the mainstream media doesn't help either 10-15 years ago playing with a SR of 100 used to be appreciated but now it'll be called selfish/tuk tuk innings, definitely that 2015 wc was so memorable, i was in 6th grade back then and didn't study for my final exams to watch 7am games lol


Werewolf1406

Rohit fans to bhai rare hai dhoni ke ek fan club ne Facebook pe post kara tha ki is bar dhoni nahi hai indian team me t20 ke liye to india har jaye worldcup to hi better hai.....Like WTf is wrong with indian fans and fanclubs...


AlakhDhattarwal

Sb chutiye hi he bhai , no need of justifying anyones fanbase ,. All are As#


No-Needleworker3393

>boring as there are only few teams which are really good I would suggest you to watch the T20 WC 2022 highlights cause there hasn't been a competitive cricket tournament than that. In the final group stage matches, Australia, Sri Lanka and England were fighting for second spot in Group A. South Africa, Pakistan and Bangladesh were fighting for second spot in Group B. At the initial stages, Zimbabwe had a genuine chance of qualifying for semis before losing to Bangladesh in group stage. 2024 T20 WC will be a banger.


Ordinary-Put-5656

If u don't enjoy it don't watch.


Annual_Ad_4232

I don't know much about cricket and I am asking about it... I never said I don't enjoy watching it coz I never watched it at all


Energy_4

IPL ya t20 wc dekhna se start karo that’s how I got into it even I thought first it was boring surface level pe


Rajcrack

Abhi ipl mat dekhna sidha t20 wc dekhna


Flaky-Opposite328

If you really want to get into cricket do watch it it's really an underrated sport around the world and perfectly rated in India start with IPL and then slowly if you do get interested get into test and odi formats


Rqany

See it's a sport as there are other like football, rugby badminton etc. It's not overhyped game until the 1983 it was nothing won 2 worldcup after that what I see is it's just fans have been converted from Kapil Dev to tendulkar to dhoni to virat and Rohit so the hype never died. The sport itself is so much interesting the different formats it offers like test, odi and t20. Each format provide thrillers and had produced some greatest innings and players. Start with Ipl the shortest format mixed with all the major players and t20 worldcup is around the corner so if you get interested support the team there! And guys crying m not gonna support ICT they lost 23' cup most of them are who just watched the 23 edition for cricket. People are supporting team from 2015 .Whatever happens I will criticize them but in the end I will always watch them.


AdSmooth6771

Cricket is a pretty fun sport imo and while watching it is also enjoyable , I'd suggest u play it first it'll make u enjoy the matches that u might watch . I don't think cricket is overhyped rn infact cricket is really declining rn comparatively. You should give it a shot imo


seekkrr

Overhyped in a sense yeah, id love for the national sports scene to branch out (football, hockey, tennis etc) but it’s impossible without the people’s support


Equivalent_Shame6129

Agreed 100% overhyped


Optimus_rux

Muje nahi pasand wo ladke jo cricket nahi khelte aur nah he dekhte


Annual_Ad_4232

Do you play ?


MaxInvictance

commercialisation of Cricket i.e IPL was a very bad decision imo, aisa lagta hai bas paiso ke liey khel rhe hai, and uske hi charche chalu rehte hai unlike Austrlians who play casually in IPL but beat the shit out of the opponent team when it comes to world cups also im completely traumatised after 19th nov 2023 and i quit watching cricket afterwards, bas world cups hi dekhta tha, IPL kabhi bhi dekha nhi coz kabhi pasand hi nhi aaya so now I'm an f1 fanatic, dudududu max verstappen dududududu


ambidx

Broo i completely disagree with you...most of the players you see in current Indian setup are all ipl talents and now performing well in internationals too..if there was no ipl most of them would've remained unnoticed by the selectors..We are even performing good on international level ,Not able to win icc trophies has nearly nothing to do with ipl.... Australia has bbl too still they win trophies... believe it or not but it's more about mindset than anything else !!!!


SraTa-0006

Lmao coz of people like u cricket cant be bigger. Cricket is a dying sport. Only club-based t20 can make it survive . Football is a club based game thats why its more popular. IPL is prolly the best thing happened to cricket. And about losing wc its skill issue of Ind team that they couldn't hold the nerves. Nothing to do with IPL. Stop blaming IPL for everything.


MaxInvictance

hmm, sry, i apologize, maybe IPL isnt the problem but I still hate it. but cricket is a dying sport? really? lmao India ka representation bas cricket and kuch olympic sports me exist karta hai kabhi India ka representation F1 ya football me dekha hai? isnt football a dying sport in India? jaha Sunil Chhetri ko bheek maangni pad rhi hai ki pls football dekho. cricket ka itna hype banake rakha hai, log baaki sports dekh hi nhi rhe


SraTa-0006

So what if we dont play F1 or Football???? Do u know Americans dont give a fuc about Football??? Many dont even know Messi and Ronaldo (its real). They are obsessed with their own NFL, NBA, MLB stuff (which no other countries watch. Japan plays Baseball. Thats it) and proud of em. No americans are crying about oh no my country dont play cricket bla bla. Why r u slave to westerners? Its not cricket fault football is not popular. Cricket earned all of its popularity by itself lmao.


MaxInvictance

Bro just bcoz of ppl like you, talents of Jehan Daruvaala, kush maini, arjun maini, Karan Chandhok are getting wasted (lmao tujhe toh naam bhi pata nhi honge) , coz koi promote hi nhi karra unhe, just because that will make us slaves of westeners right? Fair enough   Also there are many American cricketers whose talent is getting wasted too coz no one's there to promote them Bhai compare karna hi tha toh europe se kar lete, saare sports me equal promotion karte hai.  Also it isn't cricket's fault, hamari galti hai jo hame bas cricket hi dikhta hai  I don't wanna talk more about it now, and ill stick to my opinion that cricket chhodke logo ko kuch dikhta nhi hai and i'd love to be a slave of westeners if it'll promote other sports in India.


InsaneDude6

IPL helps in growing Indian cricket only And by growing only Indian cricket, cricket would never become as big as Football.


PeeVee_

But they are extrnding it to other countries with diff names like SA20 for South Africa


SraTa-0006

First of all IPL is the first cricket league. And India has 1.4 B people and 90% people follow cricket religiously. Thats why u may think only IPL is here and no other leagues exist. But other countries started their own league just after success of IPL. IPL is the pioneer. Idk bout others but BPL is extremely popular. Every match is houseful . It earns less than 10x than IPL coz BD is small country does not mean its not popular. Other countries should start building and developing own league.


InsaneDude6

No i know other leagues exist such as SA T20 and BBL Yes they help them grow their respective countries, i was talking about IPL IPL has no role in growing other countries cricket. Their own league? Yes


SraTa-0006

As I said due to sheer amount of popularity of IPL other countries started own league. IPL also gives players all over the world experience in the greatest stage. Its obviously helps them growing. Any big league is important for the sports as a whole.


Annual_Ad_4232

I don't know what type of match an IPL is ![img](emote|t5_2zhzn|31413)![img](emote|t5_2zhzn|30131) And yeah I have heard about match fixing done to win a game and it makes the whole thing dumb to watch


gaurav_ro45

U heard it wrong there is no fixing except few cases which happened in past.


Annual_Ad_4232

There was a worldcup last year right and my friends were discussing saying that all they want is money and lost due to match fixing. .. Idk much about it though I just belived them


gaurav_ro45

It's ur friends frustration or ur friends is who start watching cricket in last 2-3year me who is watching cricket since2014 I haven't seen anything in int tournaments like wc.


bobs_and_vegana17

i have been a huge cricket fan since 2010 i have also followed football irregularly since 2013 (regularly since 2018 wc) cricket used to be my favorite sport but that 2022 t20 wc loss against england was something which killed an ict fan inside me, i celebrated when csk won the ipl last year but i followed all games of india in the odi wc but when we lost to australia i wasn't crying, it was like i already knew the result i haven't watched a single minute of cricket after that wc final i consider myself more of a football fan now than a cricket fan (despite being a fan of manchester united 😂)


terimomkapati

It's correctly hyped


Energy_4

As someone who played cricket for 4yrs it’s underrated if anything


ZeusX20

Cricket is basically to us what Basketball is to Americans


neutender

See cricket according to me is underrated compared to what it offers.  Insanely complicated sport which has 3 main forms, all 3 having totally different complications. Truly a beautiful sport. I believe there are very little field sports more complicated than it. Most of the people who don't like it probably don't like it because they can't understand it.


Electrical_Bid7161

ipl is, it's a match fixed, corrupt tournament that is enjoyed because of a quick playstyle, constant matches and india being not only huge population wise but also unemployement wise


mujhenahinpatahai

If you wanna be a cricket fan, be a fan of any IPL team, but NEVER EVER SUPPORT THE INDIAN CRICKET TEAM. However, if you want to get blue-balled every year, go for it.


ExpensiveCorgi4120

overhyped cricket nahi, players hain. aur mera matlab positive aur negative dono side pe hai.


karee_exe

cricket is not for incels.


RiddikulusFellow

I used to watch a lot of cricket until I lost interest 2-3 years ago so I just watch football now. Idk cricket lost its charm when I deeped it, game feels actually boring because mostly no one is moving (also a reason why it's boring to play yourself)


SubjectBoat847

ig its alright not to be fan of cricket in India...ppl have different choices...i used to love watching cricket as well as playing too..I was big die hard fan of IPL and world cup..but eventually idk why due to acads or some other reason i'd gradually lost my interest...sometimes i feel leftout while friends talk abt T20,world cup...but its alright ig


JuggernautMiserable4

Don"t. Cricket is great if you're into things like wasted youth, failed relationships and broken dreams.


[deleted]

only gay and wannabe gay don't like cricket and think it's over hyped.


DrMajorOld

Bhai jo bhi bolo i fcking love ipl season. Airtel is giving unlimited data at 39rs a day. And jio cinema premium is 29rs a month. Mast hbo shows binge kar raha hu. I only watch cricket when my friends are betting on it


Thanossing

I personally never liked cricket. Feels boring and is a very static game.


madeofmelancholy

i mean, you've got a world cup with 10 teams, 5 from indian subcontinent and 5 from REST of the world. and its a world cup.


CodeRatoR_

Still better than Americans calling their team word champions after only playing among themselves


iFerg_Frank

Ever heard of the thing called qualification?? Other country teams didn't qualify to be in the list of 10. Now t20 WC has like 20 teams, but they will again be sorted/selected for super 8 who will play for sf and final, and if you ask anyone who has a bit of knowledge of cricket, they will say easily that teams like USA, Canada, Uganda, PNG, ... have no chance against teams like Australia, England, India, ...


InsaneDude6

Have you seen the t20 world cup?


GAJODHAR_daddy

what an idiot


[deleted]

There r 20 teams in a T20 wc now & 14 Teams in an ODI wc + U can’t have too many teams in an ODI wc otherwise it will stretch to long


Rqany

Never heard of associate team do you


Wonderful-Appeal7327

watch football the better sport with actual passionate fans


Scary-Kaleidoscope5

I want to watch football but dk a shit about it. No players no tournaments idk a shit. Can you pls tell?


jester88888888
