Not only Rishi Sunak but Team India is also snatching the happiness of the British

Shailendra Pandey : Like the mischief of the eyes, the mischief of the lips also cannot be hidden. When former England cricket team captain Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton were predicting the defeat of Team India in the second semi-final of the T-20 World Cup, their unsuccessful attempt to push the smile on their faces to the corners of their lips was clearly visible.

Why refer to history?

With great confidence, both the cricketing giants had declared that the final would be between England and South Africa. The basis of their confidence was India’s losing streak in knockout matches of ICC events in the last decade and the one-sided 10-wicket victory over Team India in the semi-finals of the last T-20 World Cup.

what a great sorrow

The prediction did come true, but only half. The smile of the whole of England has disappeared. Now in its place, a wry smile is coming out, which is saying that we played very badly, that the pitch was suitable for Indians, etc. Another former captain Michael Vaughan drew attention to the facilities being given to India by the International Cricket Council, to which Ravichandran Ashwin replied by giving such a formula on X, which will require the help of Oxford to solve it. But, there is no point in getting irritated. The sadness of the British can be understood, which does not seem to end. Whenever the poor guys try to be happy, some Indian comes and twists their ears. Was the fear of Rishi Sunak less on them, that Team India is also pounced upon with ration and water.

The greatest fear

By watching the analysis of English commentators and cricket experts, it is clear that they have no greater fear in the world than their team losing to India on the playing field. It is very difficult for them to digest that the country which their ancestors taught to play cricket is now defeating them. Earlier the world of cricket was run from Lord’s and now India brought it to the BCCI office. Not only the administration has gone out of hand, but the game is also going out of hand.

Badgeball of India

Whenever the English team tries to establish its dominance, the Indian team comes like a monitor and throws them out of the class. Earlier this year, the English came to India with the banner of Badgeball. Then it was common talk that England changed the way of playing Test cricket. But, what happened as soon as they came to Indian soil? From Visakhapatnam to Dharamshala, all the nuts and bolts of Badgeball were opened and spread. What happened in Guyana can also be compared with the same fate. After both the results, there is a discussion going on in England that now the strategy should be changed.

Discussion on listening

But England is facing a problem that if they change their strategy regarding India, then where should they change it? In the cricket field, in domestic politics, in world economy or in diplomacy? In cricket, they can still try to be happy for a few moments by remembering Adelaide 2022, but what to do about the rest?

UK news

Just like Team India has hurt the ego of England, Rishi Sunak has done something similar. Sunak is a student of Winchester College, Oxford and Stanford University, owner of more wealth than the Queen and husband of a personality like Akshata Murthy. When he/she was about to become PM, there was a debate that he/she is not even fully British. But, the same half-British has been taking the most news of Britain for almost two years.

Wrong shot

In the semi-final in Guyana, English captain Jose Butler went for reverse sweep on the very first ball of Akshar Patel and lost his/her wicket. Rishi Sunak is sitting there in the PM House and playing reverse sweep every day and the wickets of his/her Conservative Party are falling. Rishi Sunak does not do all this intentionally, it just happens to him/her.

Failed PM

Now what is his/her fault that after his/her arrival the inflation rate crossed 11% and remained between two digits for the next seven months. It is also not his/her fault that after his/her arrival Britain had to grapple with the cost of living crisis, due to which the living standards of the common people declined, along with that the electricity bills started increasing. What is Sunak’s fault for not having a free trade agreement with India and the failure of the Rwanda plan? But, the public is after him/her so much that they are becoming critical of everything from his/her shoes to the tea set used at home.

need of mercy

The pitch of the world has become rough and Britain has no answer to India’s spin. We have already captured its position by pushing its economy out of the top 5. So many shocks on top of that – the British are not even able to ask for mercy. The media there has named Sunak as tetchy Rishi before the voting on 4th July. But it seems that the fear of India has made Britain irritable.
