WRITING TASK 2(ESSAY TOPIC)

Task 2

Cricket has become more popular than the national sports in the sub-continental countries.

What do you think are the reasons behind this?

Sample Answer ▼

There is a very famous adage in India, "If Cricket is religion, then Sachin is the god". That is a statue of a cricketer in India. Admittedly, Cricket is more popular than the national sports in the subcontinent, be it India, Pakistan or Sri Lanka. Almost entire subcontinent came to a standstill in April 2011 during the India and Sri Lanka World cup final match. High TRP's of TV channel during the cricket season are evident.

I think the main reason for the popularity of this sport is the good performance of the team. All the subcontinent teams are among the top playing teams and have won the world cup at least once (except Bangladesh). Prior to India winning 1983 world cup, Hockey was more famous as India's hockey team performed well and but after winning the world cup, people started following cricket too and since then owning to good performance, cricket became popular in India. People would hate to see their team losing all the time and would stop following the game. Many Subcontinent players are among the best in the worlds and have several records in their kitty. For Instance, when we go to foreign country and people asks, where are you from? When I say "India", their first reaction is, "Oh! That’s where Sachin is from". That instantly makes me proud.

Another reason of popularity is, Cricketers get more media attention, and they get good endorsements and are constantly in public eyes. As compared to other sportsmen, Cricketer earns better and have a high standard of living. Everyone wants to become professional cricket player and get all the benefits that they receive. In earlier days, if you are not part of an international team, your career is finished; earlier opportunities were very less but now with the IPL, many players are getting chances to play in front to a large crowd and show their talent. With the increase in opportunities, even parents are now encouraging their children to take cricket as their full-time career, this leads to better engagement of people towards the game.

In a nutshell, I think, people will love any sport, if it entertains them, make them feel proud.
