    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.

    There are many sports I've watched like volleyball, kabaddi, koko and cricket. Today I would like to talk about a sport that I have only watched before but I haven't played myself and that sport is cricket. Recently, I developed an interest in playing cricket. I remember watching a cricket match online a few weeks ago during dinner with my family. I was really impressed by how they play. The strategy is really interesting and it provides a full body workout. I really want to try it because it requires more energy but for me it is hard to play because I have breath problems. I feel disappointed because I can't play. I believe cricket would be really beneficial for physical health, providing a full body workout and improving flexibility if I have the chance to play it in future. Anywhere in the world, I would definitely give it a try to see if I am suitable for it. In conclusion, cricket holds a special place in my heart as a sport I have admired and enjoyed watching for years.

    A sport that I would watch would be cricket. I am a huge, massive fan of cricket ever since I was in the 4th grade and I used to watch cricket on the television a lot with my grandfather. My grandfather was the one who introduced me to the sport. He was an avid player of cricket during his school and college days. Now that I am working, I tend to not get enough time to watch the sport as much. So I try to watch it during the weekends if there are any matches going on. Why I would watch it is because I like the sport and I like playing the sport. I rate how the players are playing and I would see where they can improve, where I can improve my own game by watching the other players play. How the game is played, it is a team sport with each team comprising of 11 members and it is played on a ground with a pitch in the centre with 22 yards long. It involves a batsman holding a bat and a bowler throwing a ball at him and the batsman having to hit the ball and depends on where and how he hits, he gets a certain number of runs. These runs get added to the team's total score and the other team has to try and score more than that. This is the idea behind the sport and how I feel about watching the sport is that in India, cricket is a major sport, major event and cricketers are treated like gods and every kid in India wants to play the game. I have also had the idea and dream of playing the sport but due to studies and all that, I never got the time to do so. I would love to get a chance to play and every time I watch a game, I would feel and I would reminisce my time playing during my school and college days where I used to be part of my school team who went and played against other players.

    Ok, so my favorite sport is MMA. I will watch it in Abu Dhabi next year. So MMA is played between two people inside the octagon, inside the cage. So what they do is they fight each other, they throw punches. There's a lot of elements involved in MMA. You can use a different style of fighting. It involves Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Russian Sambo, Wrestling, Kickboxing, Boxing, Muay Thai. It involves every fighting style that has been created by man and use it in the octagon. What I like about it is it requires discipline, dedication, hard work and requires a naturally gifted talent to be able to get there inside the octagon.
