Cricket is a game that brings together people from different countries and cultures. It is also a game that has encouraged many cricketers to use their fame and fortune to better society. But it seems that Indian cricketers have not received the same accolades for their social work as others. Foreign cricketers have expressed their love and respect for India in a variety of ways.
For instance, Jonty Rhodes, the former South African cricketer, named his daughter India and went to Rishikesh to bathe in the Ganga. He also extolled India ‘s rich legacy, culture and tradition. Matthew Hayden, the former Australian opener, who played for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL, is another example. He wore an ethnic costume on the field. He also expressed his admiration for Indian food, music and people.
But Indian cricketers don’t get much praise or attention for social work, on the other hand. Some have carried out charitable work through their foundations or NGOs, as have Sachin Tendulkar with his Apnalaya, Gautam Gambhir with his GGF and Virat Kohli with his Smile Foundation, but they don’t get much media attention or public support. Additionally, some of them have also been criticized or even attacked for their involvement in social affairs.
These examples make it clear that Indian cricketers have not been receiving as much praise for their social work as foreign cricketers because they are measured by different standards. Because of their personal views or actions, sometimes they may have even more problems or controversies. Therefore it is important to appreciate and encourage the good deeds of both the Indian and foreign cricketers.
