Will India ever win an ICC trophy with BJP in power?

India needs to give less importance to cricket. It is over-inflated. Try to be more competitive other major sports like football, field hockey and even basketball. Cricket is outdated. With a handful of countries playing, it is not a world sport.

This. A sports which is dominated by conditions/luck than skills, shouldn't be given so much importance.

Wow.

India last won an ICC trophy in 2013.

Then BJP comes to power in 2014. 

 

To add salt to wounds, Final was help in BJP's headquarters. 

BCCI Big Boss is BJP's son.

 

I feel better now. Its not our cricketers fault...

Atleast we found treasure.

The thing is India won 3 ICC trophies from 2007-2013.    All those wins were under Dhoni's captaincy. His captaincy skills were exceptional and we had a great team overall in all those wins.  Except maybe 2007T20 WC where it was a young team and many players were new.  Those wins had nothing to do with the party at the centre (congress).    Interestingly,  Dhoni himself was and still is a bjp supporter.

My dream is to one day see India get into world cup Soccer/Football.

 

It will easily destroy cricket interest as its a much more exciting sport.

 

Shame that since Baichung Bhutia we didn't get top class players 

Won't happen in our lifetimes buddy, Bhutia was andhon mein kana raja, that's it. We had class players 60 years ago!!!!

 

But we can achieve domination in field hockey, that is our best bet. And people of India have some sentimental attachment to hockey, because of past glory. Granted many of those people are now older folks but if any sport can challenge cricket's supremacy, it is hockey. Let us all throw our weight behind Indian hockey and if we get an Olympic gold or WC trophy this decade, the landscape of Indian sports will change much like 1983.

On a serious note, as a cricket fan, I m badly missing dhoni's captaincy skills. I knew he was finished as a batsman by 2015 and he was playing as an accumulator thereafter.   But his captaincy skills are unmatched till date in indian history.

@LordPrabhzythis is what I was talking about.  

still a dumb ass thread- BCCi is not under GOI remit ( essentially BJP).

 

BUT saying that Jay Shah loser does not have any right to be managing the affairs of BCCI. Thats a different issue than blaming BJP for the ICC trophy drought of 10 years

[Khota]

BJP has nothing to do with this loss. Now they did politicize the entire sports structure by shifting games around.

Yep more than party, it was Dhoni that got us the WC win. This is from 2011 before the WC

hockey is a better (in the sense of being more dynamic, creative, and less conditions-based) game than cricket.... there, I said it, now come and throw the brickbats at me (perhaps @Gollum might agree partly with me)

RaGa said in a recent interview that he has a special device which can do this: "Ek taraf se PayTm trophy ghusaunga.  Doosri taraf se ICC trophy niklega"

RaGa as PM will lift the trophy alongside Rohit Sharma in US after T20 WC win and declare himself real januedhari Brahmin along With Captain Sharmaji & US President Vivek Ramaswamy.... 

 

RSS will declare itself as associate wing of Congress & BJP would join AIMIM & Owaisi & make another Hyderabad in Ahmedabad. 

It's all planned by Sonia G...

Not partly, fully!!!! Hockey is a superior sport with real athletes.

Football we should aim to qualify for the WCs and be a spoiler team in the next 30-40 years. Maybe try to win an Asia Cup.

 

Hockey we are almost there. Hockey league also coming back next year. High time we have multiple sports. Can be like the Americans/Aussies etc with their seasons.

Indian players looked choked with so many politicians at the ground lol They desperately wanted NOT TO lose rather than WIN. I envy Aussies for not going through this kind of pressure.
