There is something magical about cricket that blinds every Indian heart but when this game is played with rain then it becomes more fun and cricket which is already a big game, takes a different form in the rain and it is not just a game. It becomes something special. How the memory which always settles in some corner of the heart and playing cricket in the wet mud in the rain seems no less than an adventure.
Be it a small lane or a school ground or a corner of the colony where the friend's thing and the sound of the bull's bounce pass together and the ball falls from the sky and the ground gets wet, then the real fun of cricket is experienced and again and again mummy shouts, it is raining Come inside But at that time we are thinking of only one thing. Once moreover, that shining ball of mud becomes real and the clothes and clothes getting dirty with a type gives a different thrill.
The most important thing is that playing cricket in the rain becomes more of a celebration than the competition and with every misfiled, there is a laugh and a funny moment are created after every slip and normally when we play in a field we focus on technique, score, winning etc. but when we play in the rain everything else is put aside and the game becomes fun. We go to play cricket in the rain and watch the real body and when we see our friend slipping and falling and the whole lane gets wet, everyone laughs at him and then we also try to find blood stains with him and as soon as we find a hair we rush and grab it and someone covers it and brings it home. Then we feel that we have understood the real meaning of a friend and every ball feels like a new excitement of life is starting.
The most interesting lesson is that the ball goes out of control and slips and sometimes falls on the umpire. Sometimes the ball misses the stump and then the ball goes far away and the bed's cover becomes loose and sometimes even the bed flies in the air But the laughter that comes in all these moments is no less than anyone else and maybe that is why it is said that cricket played in the rain is very close to someone's heart.
And one thing that makes cricket special in the rain is its predictability and when the ground is slippery, every expected step is a challenge. Taking a clutch catch feels like a devil's stunt. Running and running does not seem like an adventure. And the herbal tree makes the ball lie a little more tight and every batsman adjusts according to the slippery pitch and this game becomes even more natural and raw where there is a fusion of skill with mastery.
There is also an emotional angle of cricket in the rain and when the whole team gets wet and everyone is drinking hot tea with cold hands in the winter season under a small roof. Then the real feeling of life comes with Snacks and memories are made which will be remembered even after college is over and perhaps whenever it rains after being so busy in life, there must be a desire to play a cricket game in the heart.
When the game ends, returning home is also a different adventure and asking for clothes, and mud shoes are heavy and then the scolding of the mother is ready and there is a love behind the teeth because she knows that her son or daughter has done today's memorable movement and the smell of mud after the rain, the banana, the flower of the cloth and he shared it with friends laughing. Everything becomes a story. We remember it later.
Many people might be thinking that if people play football in the rain then why play cricket? I would like to tell you that sometimes during the rainy season, there is a different fun in playing cricket on our concrete ground because it makes things more difficult. Cricket cannot be played in the rain. Football is more comfortable. For playing, we play a new invention of ours. I played cricket my entire childhood in the rain because the ball in it, when it falls very hard on the concrete ground and if played at speed, it hurts it. But we do not feel any pain. During that time, we are so engrossed in playing that we do not remember anything. Whether we would have eaten food or not, we do not remember anything.
And in today's digital world where kids are always busy with their phones or do not do anything, those who play outdoor games do not even know about the things that can be played in the rain like football, cricket and badminton, there are many such games which should be played always. The new generation kids of today do not know about playing games, so next time whenever it rains and you see water falling like in Assam, think about it once. Will you be able to play cricket again, that is why you should play it. Whenever you talk about playing cricket, that is why I bring up the topic and say, go and play because it is a great experience.
