My Thoughts
As we know that many teams represent India in different sports but all of us mostly focus on the Indian cricket team and not on the other teams that play for our country.
Don’t think that I am only blaming you all cause I was also one of them but now I understand that each of the teams requires the same attention we give to cricket.
That’s why I am going to write about almost all the Indian teams that play for our country in different sports.
So stay tuned for it…and that’s for it today.
So, I guess that’s all for today. If you enjoy reading it then comment down below and leave you suggestions and any other topics that I should write about in the comments.
Don’t just read alone share it with others in this way everybody will enjoy it.
I will be back soon with another game or related info. Till then…
