ECLIPSE OF GENERATION!!!!!!!!


-Ajit Mahendra Maurya



India has a great tradition of sports, and is greatly influenced by the British presence in India in the 18th and 19th century. Cricket is undoubtedly the most popular sport, but in such a large and populous country there are many other sports that are played by a lot of people. With sports comes some great events which have happened in the time series. I would share some of the events which had made India proud and honoured.

The 3rd Boxing Day test 2018 in which India registered their 1st series in which they won on Australian soil. Hypochondriac behavior could be seen among the Indian fans. Day 3 sublimated the Australia’s Innings to mediocre one’s. An innings which stupefy the dressing room. Recovering from this point of time needed a extra zeal to bring Australia back into the test series as well as test Match. Australians who were playing for the pride and denying the prospect of India, though glory on their turf.

4th Test in which India registered their 1st ever away series won in Australia. There’s been scrutiny of this team and some of them might be their own doing in the way of the team selections and some of the statements thrown around. But the fact remains, there is the only Indian team to have done it ever alone in last 15-20 years.

Any series that propels Cheteswar Pujara to the rightful status of a batting superstar is a serious worth cherishing. With 521 runs from 1258 balls, he basically broke Australia’s bowling attack into the ground. He blocked everything, Australia just couldn’t figure out a plan to get him out. Even the energy beams and water canon ,he might have blocked them too. The rookies saw off the new ball and that set the platform for the Pujara- Kohli marathon stand. The batsmen posted a mammoth score and that was followed by the series defining spell by Jasprit Bumrah.

Virat Kohli kissed the Border-Gavaskar trophy which is handed to him the great Allan Border himself. Kohli relegates himself to the periphery for the photograph. There’s this great vibe in the team, soaking in the atmosphere and the celebrations. Some of the players got their families onto the field to share with the them. It’s all very lovely to see.

Thus, all  we can abstract from sports is- Push yourself again and again. Don’t give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.
