Cricket-The Game of Gentleman's

Cricket is still a gentleman's game. To show that, few of the instances I have felt are below:

1.During the India tour of England in 2011, India were in deep trouble losing all matches. Ian Bell was in top form and he thought that a ball he had hit went to boundary, stopped his running and he was ran out. But Dhoni called Bell from pavilion to continue his batting even after Bell scored more than 100. That was legally out, but he wanted to take a fair dismissal.,

2. In WC 2015, the following happened.


You can't see anything better than this. People can say Grant Elliott began as south African cricketer, so he did the that. But I would say he would have done that even if any other country had played on that day.

3. Suresh Raina is one of the gentlemen whom we are talking about. That was bravo,who is his CsK team mate. Again, Raina would have done that to anybody.


4. Once Ricky Ponting motivated Rahul dravid to get back to his form while he was playing against Aussies. You don't see Punter doing that very often,but, he behaved as a gentleman to a gentleman.

5. As a U19 coach, Rahul dravid consoled and motivated Nepal for their loss in recent U19 world cup.

6. After India's 2011 WC victory, the next moment Kumar sangakara smiled, felt happy and congratulated Indians.

7. Without waiting for umpire's decision, whenever a batsman goes to pavilion after making a faint nick, till that day Cricket is a gentleman's game.

These are the things that makes cricket still A GENTLEMEN’S GAME.https://youtu.be/wqCC6n95QvI
