Amrit Mathur writes, "As a cricket-mad nation, we are guilty of hyperbolically praising our players and hyping up our cricket." The most important takeaway from the shocking loss in Hyderabad is to tone down the rhetoric and keep things in perspective when creating stories about Indian cricket. Ben Foakes of England makes an appeal to take India's captain Rohit Sharma out of the game. Being a nation obsessed with cricket, we are all guilty of exaggerating the game and lavishing praise on our players, inadvertently showing disrespect for the teams we oppose. This tendency is strongest against Pakistan when deplorable marketing campaigns, particularly those that are broadcast on television, bring cricket to an embarrassing level.
