Fan Clubs: Cricketers Have Fan Clubs, Facebook and Twitter
When there is a game of cricket in the country, Indians may forget to sleep and eat. India is a country where you will find young children as well as adults and old people playing, chatting or watching cricket. The rest can be glued to the commentary on the radio. Cricket is a religion here. It is said that people in India understand this sport, its jargon and love the game more than anyone else in the world. Perhaps nothing connects the 7th largest country in the world like the game of cricket.
Cricket management in India quickly became a very profitable business after the 1990s due to commercialization. Today, the Cricket Control Council of India (BCCI) has undoubtedly become one of the most profitable associations in the world. As well as the players, of course, they played for the award in glamorous exclusive leagues.
Sponsorship began to arrive almost immediately after the Indian team won the World Championship in 1983 under the command of Kapil Dev. The next World Cup in 1987 was funded by Reliance Industries, currently the largest private sector enterprise in India. In between, another series ended with the team in 1985 in Australia. One thing led to another, and the increased public attention and support meant improved private sponsorship from major industries. Television rights were bought at a very high price, making the BCCI one of the most influential and wealthy organizations.
Despite not being paid much, players began to be respected more than ever. The BCCI began making sure that cricketers, when they played well, also received good rewards. In addition, players were now given retention fees and more contracts. Heavy media coverage has given the players celebrity status.
Exceeding in all three game formats, India has become one of the best cricket teams in the world. India has produced many world class cricketers. Sachin Tendulkar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virender Sehwag are just a few of them. Since then, a number of passionate fan clubs have sprung up where enthusiasts worship cricketers as their god and have large support groups. Star cricketers Dhoni, Sehwag, Ishant and Bhaji all have fan clubs on Facebook and Twitter.
