Sport vs Politics: Nowadays the country is immersed in sports fever. Different types of incidents are happening in the field. In this context, an incident of cricket bowling exactly twenty -six years old is remembered. The cricket match is an incident. Of Ferozeshah Kotla Maidan in New Delhi. For example, Ejaz Patel (4 December 2021) created history in Mumbai with ten Indian wickets for New Zealand. He became the third bowler in the world. Many years ago, Jim (Australia) had shown such a feat. But this was what Anil Kumble did in Mumbai on 7 February 1999.
Indians have a sense of generosity with a player. However, such a surgery is difficult in politics, because the heart of a politician is tight, in which spreading is necessary. When the mention is in the shape of the heart, the conclusion of Sir Arthur Keith, the humanist of Scotland, seems to be right that the direction of the stream of world history is not the sky, but the things arising in the hearts of the people. In this connection, if you look at some examples from the sports world and political field, then there is a lot of trouble that why does the game of sports not emerge in all those politics? Perhaps these people become ruthless by climbing the dead bodies of their comrades.
An example from the game. On that day on 7 February 1999, India’s cricket match was held in Ferozeshah Kotla Maidan (Delhi). History will only tell that the leg -spinner named Anil Radhakrishna Kumble made a world record with ten wickets. But it may not have been recorded in history how much Jawagal Srinath, Sadgopan Ramesh and captain Mohammad Azharuddin emitted, gave up their interest and made partner Kumble a history man. When Kumble took nine wickets, the Matsar Bhavna could suffer all of them, burn them. Therefore, if the spirit of the charioteer in the Bhagavad Gita shows the excellent and excellent episode of ‘Na Tu Ahan Kamay Rajya’, then Azharuddin and his companions. Shrinath was throwing his twelfth over, 2436th ball. It must have been the toughest watch of his life. He could take his 341st wicket easily. The batsman was also weak Waqar Yunus. That ball could have thrown fast but the ball could not play properly. Skad bowler Shrinath threw two balls in such a way that he would not even get tipped around Yunus. Ampire Steve Baknaur from West Indies called both of them wide hair. Captain Azhar whispered Srinath’s ear not to take wickets so that Anil Kumble could make a record of taking ten wickets. Waqar Yunus also gave a catch, but Sadgopan Ramesh did not even try to take him. The goal was that Waqar Yunus could be dismissed with the deadly ball of Kumble. All ten players were accepting their religion to help Kumble in Kotla Maidan. Then came the twenty -seventh over of Kumble. By now he had improved his length and line. Shortlainth ball gives the batsman less than you feel and playing. Taking advantage of his high stature, Anil showed the charisma of his wrist while working hard. Classical performance. The historic moment came when captain Wasim Akram hit Kumble’s ball. But she merged into Laxman’s palm on the short leg. This was his 234th wicket at Kotla Maidan. Kumble created history. Thanks to colleagues.
Competition does not have the meaning resistance. However, South African captain Hans Kronye was more emotional from Pakistani captain Wasim Akram when he allowed the West Indies batsman to play despite being run out, as he was hit by a South African fielder in the middle of running to the crease. The same feeling was shown by Australian captain Mark Taylor in the Peshawar match, when he himself scored 334 runs and surprised Pakistan. Taylor later stated that he did not want the 334 -run record of Australian player Don Bradman, the grandfather of cricket. It was an example of the spirit of the game that when the French team won the World Football Gold Cup by scoring a goal against Brazil, Prime Minister Jyan Shirak, who was sitting in the audience gallery, jumped up and kissed his wife in arms, kissed him in the arms, even if crores of people of the world then TV. Were watching
Pakistan’s defeated captain Wasim Akram also embraced Anil Kumble, who took his wicket in Kotla. Some similar sportsmanship was also seen in Indian politics (19 February 1999), when bus passengers hug the host Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif on the Atal Bihari Vajpayee border. But later military Parvez Musharraf dropped a friendly bus in Kargil’s gap. Nawaz Sharif’s government was also demolished. It is a tragedy, today people like Musharraf are growing more. Also in India.
The summary is that if a politician, journalist and litterateur, rather every Indian also becomes generous like a cricketer! So?
