India cricket is blessed that it has fans all over the world who follow every happening in the game minutely and have strong opinions about the same. In the days before the internet, it was virtually impossible to keep a track of what was happening not just in Indian cricket, but also in the world game especially if you lived in countries which didn’t have cricket among its Top 10 sports. The diehard fans would tune in to the radio commentary, but that was quite strenuous as not only one had to stay in one position to ensure the shortwave radio connection wasn’t lost, but also the commentary wasn’t always clear and that added to the frustration. Now, it’s just a matter of switching on your TV, phone, laptop, and you can get to know what’s happening in the cricketing world in a moment.

This love for Indian cricket means that everybody has an opinion and a view on this and what is right and what is wrong in Indian cricket. So immediately after the first game of the Asia Cup which India won with ridiculous ease, the Indian cricket fans in the USA had their questions and comments. I was in the USA trying to create awareness of the major problem of children born with Congenital Heart defects and also trying to raise funds for their surgeries which by the way are done totally free of cost to the patient.
