The Curse of India: The Clash of Culture in the ICC World Cup

Indian Fans: Emotional vs Professional

It seems that the clash of cultures between India and Australia has spilled over into the world of cricket, with Indian fans expressing their disappointment and frustration towards Australian cricketer Mitchell Marsh. The emotional backlash from Indian fans has raised questions about the impact of over-emotionalism on the performance of the Indian cricket team in ICC tournaments.

Professionalism vs Emotionality

The difference in mindset is clear – the Australian approach is one of professionalism, viewing cricket as a game and not placing the World Cup title on a pedestal. On the other hand, Indian fans and players often approach cricket with extreme emotions, treating it more like a war than a sport.

In the recent World Cup final, India’s performance suffered under the weight of expectations and emotional pressure, while the Australian team, despite facing similar challenges, displayed a level of professionalism that led them to victory.

Impact on Indian Society

This attachment to emotionalism is not limited to cricket. It reflects a broader cultural tendency in India, where emotions often take precedence over professionalism. This mindset, while deeply ingrained in Indian society, can have detrimental effects, not only in the sporting arena but also in other aspects of life.

Incidents of crimes against women and environmental degradation have been on the rise in India. This raises the question of whether the emphasis on emotionalism and tradition is truly beneficial in modern society.

Redefining Mindset

In order to progress and achieve success, there is a call for a shift towards a more realistic and professional approach. This change is essential not only for the Indian cricket team but for the nation as a whole. The acknowledgment of this need for change is the first step towards a more victorious future, both on the cricket field and beyond.

Indian society must recognize the limitations of over-emotionalism and embrace a more balanced and professional mindset. Only then can the nation hope to compete at the highest level and achieve significant victories in various arenas.

Conclusion

It is imperative for Indian fans and athletes to rethink their approach and embrace professionalism alongside emotion. Only then can India strive for success, both in cricket and in broader society.

That is the curse of India; Marsh’s culture is different and gives the Aussies big wins

Many Indian fans are booing Australian player Mitchell Marsh who has put his foot on the World Cup title. This over-emotionalism is the bane of India. Because of this attitude we are not winning ICC trophies.

Marsh culture sees cricket as a game. He does not consider the World Cup title a sacred thing. It is this professionalism that brings great success to the Aussies.

What about India on the other side? We consider the game of cricket as a war. That is why we feel that the Marsh Trophy was not respected.

What happened in the World Cup final? India, who batted first, lost three wickets and slipped under a lot of pressure. The boundaries are gone. The run rate has fallen. In the end, India settled for a sub-par total.

I will not blame the Indian batsmen. They know that there are people in India who want to throw stones at the players’ houses and burn their effigies if they lose the game.

The Aussies, who were on a run, also lost three wickets. But they were not afraid. Travis Head hitting fours and sixes regularly. The Kangaroo Army won easily.

This is the difference. The difference between Australian professionalism and Indian hyper-emotionality! Head had the guts that no one would wear shoelaces even if they lost the game!

Mitchell Marsh, who was dismissed at a critical moment in the final, left the field laughing. Marsh winked at Indian wicketkeeper Rahul. Can we imagine an Indian star doing all this?

Virat Kohli had nothing but sadness on his face while receiving the Player of the Match award of the tournament. What if Virat had accepted the award with a laugh? Wouldn’t some have questioned Virat’s commitment to the team?

Ours is a culture that treats women like gods. We call rivers mother. So is there any benefit? Crimes against women are increasing day by day. Our rivers are overflowing with rubbish.

Foreigners do not command women and rivers to worship divinely. But clear water flows through the rivers there. Women live there with peace of mind.

Realism and professionalism should prevail over emotion. Then we will be a victorious nation. Until then, we’ll have to spend our time telling marshals the order.

Many blame the Indian team for losing the final. Players are not aliens. Indian cricketers are the symbols of Indian society.

Indians are prisoners of emotions. Athletes have the same problem. First we have to change. Better to dream of big trophies after that.
