    I am fond of watching cricket. The first time I remember watching cricket was when I went for vacation to my father's home. There I saw my grandma very excitedly watching cricket and she was sitting in front of the television all day long just to get the runs and the wickets. I was just curious to know how she is so excited. I have never seen her so excited for anything else. Not only my grandparents, my parents are also very anxious about watching cricket. I also remember those days when it was our World Cup and India lost World Cup and they were feeling so devastated. I was like, what happened? Why they are like this? And later I came to know the craziness of this sport. I also became addicted to it and I still remember the day when I was sitting all night, I was drinking coffee to keep me along to watch the whole World Cup in which India won the World Cup in 2011. That was a mesmerizing moment and I feel lucky to have at least witnessed it through television on live. Then I was able to understand how people are turning crazy for this sport. But later on now, I am just preoccupied. I don't have much time to watch sports. But still, those times, they are great.

    I would watch cricket live at a stadium to experience the electric atmosphere with the crowd's energy, cheers, and thrill of being part of a passionate fanbase. The live action, fast-paced movements, and the collective excitement make it unforgettable. However, watching on TV or through streaming services is also great as it offers close-ups, replays, and insightful commentary. Cricket is played between two teams, each with 11 players. The team that bats tries to score as many runs as possible by hitting the ball and running between the wickets or hitting boundaries. The bowling team tries to dismiss the batsmen by getting them out through various means like bowling them out, catching the ball, or running them out. The game has different formats, test matches, one-day internationals, and T20s, each with its own unique style and pace. I feel cricket is an incredibly dynamic sport that requires both mental and physical endurance. The strategy involved, from field placements to batting orders, keeps me engaged. Whether it's the slow build-up of a test match or the high-energy movements in T20s, cricket offers a variety of experiences. It's a game of patience and skill, and watching the tension build as a match progresses is what makes it so exciting. The unpredictability of the game, where every ball can change the course of the match, is what makes it so thrilling. I enjoy the slow build-up of suspense and the excitement of big movements, like a game-changing wicket or an explosive boundary.

    I started, the most interesting sport for me is cricket. I like watching it on TV. I would love to watch one day in stadiums also. So I started watching IPLs and ODIs. So I was more attracted to cricket because it was very popular in my school days and there were a lot of celebrated cricketers. Unlike other sports, this is popular among the students also. So it created a rapport amongst us. So this was mainly an attraction for us. Apart from that, I would like to experience the cricket in stadium one day. I like cricket in comparison to other sports because it is interesting to watch and it also shows the team spirit within the members of the sport. I would particularly like to talk about IPLs which has been very engaging for me in the recent years. So apart from just the match, the auctions and the press conferences have also been very entertaining. And IPLs have been well-trimmed for the celebrated cricketers. So it's very interesting to watch and also the team battles in the social media platforms is also engaging. So cricket has become a very widely watched sport than it was earlier. In earlier days also I have played cricket with my friends in school but I have not been a very great player in cricket. I just love to watch it.

    Basically, I am a sports enthusiast. I watch various sports on a regular basis, but one of my favorite sports is cricket. Cricket is considered like a religion in my country, and this sport is followed by more than a billion people, and it is also the most watchable sport in my country. In cricket, there are around 12 international teams, like England, Australia, India, Pakistan, South Africa, and Sri Lanka. Recently, there is a T20 World Cup, which was eventually won by my home country, India, so people like went to the street and celebrate it by bundling crackers and distributing sweets to all the family members. And my favorite player in cricket, so basically there are two players which I truly like the most. One is Rohit Sharma, which is like an opening batsman, and he is currently the captain of the Indian cricket team, and he has scored three double 100s in cricket. And secondly, my favorite cricketer is Virat Kohli, who has scored 72 international ODI 100s. But my all-time favorite batsman is Sachin Tendulkar, who is also considered as a god of cricket because he has scored most runs in T20 and ODI format, and he has also scored more than 100 centuries. He started playing cricket at the age of 16, and he played cricket for more than 24 years, and he retired from cricket at the year 2013, and he is considered as an all-time great.

    I would love to watch the sport called cricket because not only me most of the people are interested in cricket. In this game there are two batters and 11 fielders. These two batters will be batting with using a ball and there is a score count of 4, 6 and some runs. If the ball goes to the borderline by bouncing once or more than once it is called 4 or if it directly goes outside the boundary means it is called it is given as 6. However this game is not as easy as it looks because there needs to be a lot of practice and dedication for this game. Furthermore this game is also played by most of the famous batsmen and bowlers which every person will recognize them. They are also very popular in other countries not only in their own country. Example Dhoni, Virat Kohli and also from other countries such as Samson and other batsmen. These all are not only famous in their own countries but they are also famous in our country and other countries and there because that much dedication is given into that game by them.

    Describe a sport you would watch. I usually watch a basketball game. I love playing it and I have a grip on that game. Moreover, the game usually consists of two players. It's a two-match game. One is the one who dribbles the ball and the other opponent who always attacks the opponent. There is a mutual connection between the opponent and the player. Usually this game is around one hour and it is all about win-win game. There is nothing like that, no elimination, no foul play, but it is all about attacking and defending the game. This game is actually played with team members as well, but for practicing purpose, it is almost playing a game between two opponents. This game we can watch in the Star Sports as well. It is an International National Basketball Academy game, which gives me very pleasure while watching it. I usually watch the scenes of opponents because these opponents who actually involve in this game plays a major role because they always set a mode to attack the player, which the ball should not be set into the goal. That is the motto of this game. And this game not only gives us a warm-up, but also it helps us to think logically how to be in an attack mode and in a defend mode. We have to be in a situation that we have to differentiate the attacking mode and the defending mode. This is how I feel and this is how I play game usually with my friends and my teammates. And this is how I feel when I was a team leader actually and there is nothing playing against me.

    There are wide array of sports in my country, also there are different types of sports like cricket, basketball, badminton, but here I would like to talk about the sport that I want to watch in my real life instead and that is cricket because cricket is played by 12 players and it is very interesting game, people really enjoy it. I also want to prefer to people that want to show the match in my country that they will watch cricket match because it's deeply quiet and calm and peaceful environment that's why and there are different kinds of strategies that we use in real match that help the sports person and also other people that will watch the movie in their theatres also like this type of concentration they provide and also you will enjoy it really very much, it is a very basically game but when you will watch this game in your eyes then you feel its imagination and calmation that they provide in different lives and so that's why it is a different and unique game. I really recommend to watch sports if you want to, if you want a good person in sports then you will definitely, I recommend here you will watch this types of games in your real life incidents, it's really harm free and it also provides a good environment to our students.
