Has the Indian cricket team sold its identity?

A question you should ponder I recently observed after the dismal performance by the cricketers at West Indies the number of boys who play has gone down significantly this may be because of the way media portrayed them I used to notice boys talking on having a certain product X which was endorsed by a certain cricketer and they would start to quarrel the biggest attraction for them was the bat sticker which was used it is a common fact that a bat with MRF label would outsell other bats among young children the boys used to argue about the bat used by the batsmen used which eventually leads to me to this question “Has the Indian cricket team sold its identity?”

It seems so even look at the recent contract dispute they want them separated and paid in different rate I have question how much have they achieved that they deserve a better pay the pay package for Aussie team is purely based on performance and not on the years you have been in the team. These players have failed to win any major trophy and argue over pay look at the Bangladesh series it is being hyped as revenge series but it seems no fire is within them they have become numb to critics thanks to the ecstasy of money of sponsors it is high time every one begin to feel that future of cricket is bleak by the money these players have sold themselves for sponsors from bikes to biscuits and everything else. It is evident in the way that they take no pride in representing their country but to prove themselves to prove themselves but does that help the team win question still looms large and i jus hope that all the next generation take up to better sports like hockey football and basket ball and not sticking with cricket because of the money which is still very high in it the sponsors also did a good move by backing out and not sponsoring events leavingthem with no sponsors.so we should better stop helping sachin "SUNFEAST" tendulkar and Mahendra "MYSORE SOAP" dhoni
