There was one instance when during world cup 2011, there was semi final match and i was travelling from Delhi  to Mumbai by train. My whole concentration was on the match. At that time mobiles were not that tech savvy and even there was no option to watch live watch but still you could buffer it and watch. There were calls from everyone’s home , telling scores and then the next person will reveal “I have the latest update” then everyone will join the discussion. I still remember one of the girl on her laptop with the dongal tried watching the match. And everyone was right there. It felt the people from entire compartment has just accumulated there. But as the train was  moving the internet connectivity was low.Still hopes were high and finally train stopped at Kota station and the connection resumed. We all could finally watch the winning shot and suddenly there was so excitement and happiness in the compartment. No one knew each other but they all celebrated the victory. Cricket bring people from different area and religion together.

The fervor of cricket is so much that you are always updated and people take every decision personally.During live match you will always hear commentary at your home when everyone will say “aree ye ball kyu miss kar di, full toss tha” .You will always hear claps and whoaa sound after every 4 and 6.

4.)After the victory of favorite team there is huge celebration. You will feel its the festival of light. Lot of Crackers ablaze just to celebrate. I still remember during the World cup on 2nd April 2011 when we won the world cup it was a very emotional moment and we celebrated till 2 am dancing in our hostel.
