In India cricket has its devotees. During the game of India people finished off their jobs before the start of the match to avoid any unnecessary situations that force him to miss the match on TV, you can bet that he will be following it with the same passion listening to the radio commentary in the paddy field or scrolling cricket app at the office.

As the magnitude of the sports, the intensity level in the country also increases as a whole. The busy congested roads look deserted when India took Sri Lanka in 2011 World Cup final is a testimony to this statement and proves the importance the Indian attributes to the game of cricket.

Cricket is a way of life

Even when India is not playing any matches Indian engage themselves with cricket and prepare for the next tour. Thousands of newspaper in English, Hindi and many locals dailies and websites feed them with the personal news of cricketers and Indian cricket.

India “eat, sleep, work”-this phrase is true as in the morning Indians start their day opening the last page of the newspaper where sports news publishes or scroll cricket news on the website on mobile waking up in the early morning.

They wear a T-shirt printed in the blue colour of Indian jersey and print their favourite cricketers on their T-shirt. Besides these fans also love to visit eateries founded by cricketers. During the big tournament, many eateries name many foods after Indian cricketers.

Indians follow Men in Blue everywhere in the world

Indians are the most ardent followers of their national team. It doesn’t a matter how small the match is. They always queue up for tickets and will cheer team India in huge number. In India, you will find every ground full when India is playing. At the same time, Men in Blue goes beyond the geographical boundaries.

The image of jam-packed Adelaide Oval and Melbourne Cricket Ground during the India-Pakistan and India –South Africa in the 2015 World Cup proved their love for the game. Indian players always say that they never feel playing at overseas as Indian fans always make them feel at home during aboard tour.

Loud cheer for the national team

When India play the game Indian fans make enormous noise that makes Indian players proud and opposition nervous. In a coliseum like the Eden Gardens where spectators are vocal and scream on top of their voices at the fall of every opposition wicket and cheer for every six and fours.

Of course, it is pin-drop silence when it’s the opposition on top. Yet, the way the fans sing and cheer in unison for Team India is outstanding. The fans chant (Jitega Vai Jitega, India jetega’  and ‘Vandematram’while India was closing in on victory during the 2011 World Cup final at the Wankhede and more recently against Pakistan at the Eden Gardens in the T20 World Cup is sure to give everyone goosebumps every time one hears it.

Respect and love for great opposition players

India has a long tradition of loving and cherishing opposition players who play well but humble in personal life. India always appreciates Wasim Akram, though he took more than 40 wickets against India, for his charm and outstanding bowling skills that mesmerised everyone one. Wasim also belongs to India’s arch-rival Pakistan but Indian fans love him a lot even after his retirement.

We have often seen Indians are cheering for AB de Villiers even when India is playing against South Africa. In 2015 December South Africa set a 400 plus total in an ODI de Villiers was at his best the Wankhede fans cheered him a lot though he was battering Indian bowlers.

Who says Indian fans are biassed. They love almost every great cricketer and great cricketers also paid back Indian fans with great innings.
