In October this year, the World Cup will complete 13 years of its existence. The first tournament of the world cup took place in 1975 with a total of 8 teams from different countries participating in it. Unlike Tennis or Badminton, cricket is played with each team consisting of 11 players.
As teams from all around the world walk down to compete with one another, mutual trust and camaraderie among the players is a must. The game of cricket consists of different departments such as batting, bowling, wicketkeeping, fielding etc. And therefore it is essential for each player of a team to inherit sportsmanship for the game as well as mutual dependence.
No teams in the world have been able to effectively compete in cricket with a single player contributing the most. The game of cricket is something which demands the equal contribution of all 11 players in a team.
The World Cup places a strong emphasis on sportsmanship, which emphasises fair play, respect, and honesty. It includes a variety of traits including respect for rivals and opponents as well as graciousness in triumph. Players behave admirably throughout the competition, respecting their rivals’ dignity and showing a sincere interest in their abilities.
Sportsmanship is at the core of the World Cup, whether it is praising an opponent’s excellent play or lending a helping hand after a heartbreaking defeat.
Players from many nationalities might come together at the World Cup to create relationships and friendships that go beyond national boundaries.
Despite their fierce battles on the pitch, players frequently form strong bonds of friendship and respect for it. They joke around amicably, swap jerseys, enjoy laughs and moments of togetherness, making friendships and experiences that will last a lifetime. In addition to coaches, support personnel, and even spectators who come together to enjoy the spirit of the game, there is a strong sense of camaraderie among players.
