9 Types of Indian Cricket Fans we come across during World Cup season

In a cricket crazy country like India, we come across billions of fans. But they can be easily grouped into categories thanks to their peculiar properties.  

 

Here are the 9 types in which you can divide yourself and your friends into (Tell us what kind are you?) : 

 

1. The Retired fan : This species became exticnt with the reitrements of the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman and Sourav Ganguly. They come up with gems of questions like "Yeh Murali Kartik kab se commentary karne laga?" 

 

2. The Stats Guy: These people are the people who give you statistical quotes like the average of that unknown Zimbabwean player or the best bowling analysis of the East African bowler in 1975 World cup. These are the ninjas of EspnCricinfo Statsguru.

 


3. The Overly Attached Fan: Known to support just one player in the whole team and that too like crazy fanboys. Also called "Rohitians", "Viratians", "The Walls" etc.

 

 

4. The Commentator : Gives their own "vishesh tippani" over everything that is happening in the game. They probably harbor a dream to become the next Aakash Chopra or next Arun Lal. Every action on screen is replayed with comments from this person. You just want to say...


 

5. The predictor : The "Maine kaha tha na" guy. Predicts everything from the toss to the nature of the pitch to the cheerleaders' costumes colors. And if some things goes correct, they shout their favourite phrases to you.

 

6. The Pessimist: The one who doesn't think that the team will win even if they have 10 wickets in hand and 2 runs to get in 10 overs. Will always think and say that "Kaash Yuvi hota team mein" or "Dada captain hote toh aisa nahi karte".

 

7. The Optimist : That one person who still knows that India would have won the 1996 World Cup Semi-final form 120-8 chasing 270, if Clive Llyod had not  awarded the game to Sri Lanka.Kuch bhi ho jaye, India jeetega... yeh match nahi toh agla hi sahi... par jeetega zaroor.

 

8. The Critic: The "would have been" fan. A former cricketer (chahe gully cricket hi ho), this fan who criticizes everything on the screen. From the toss, to the playing XI to the field placements and the bowling changes. This fan is impossible to impress and have a better alternative to everything.  


 

9. The Aggressor: If you want to know what this type is, ask Maria Sharapova. These friends are not to be messed with, they will burn dummies of you if you cross them.

AIB Knockout of Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor: Do roasts of celebrities need this much vulgarity?

Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor promoting their movie GUNDAY.


As they say you need to experience something to have an opinion about it, so I watched the AIB Knockout of Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor. It had Deepika Padukone, Sonakshi Sinha, Alia Bhatt and likes of Anurag Kashyap in attendence.

NO, I didn't like the content at all. I was not offended by it, but seriously, since when you need to use foul words to generate comedy even in insults?

In an attempt to copy the "Roast format of comedy" showed on Comedy Central, AIB just filled their insults and jabs with crude words and gaalis unnecessarily for "comedic"effect.To roast someone do you really need such filthy language and  their requisite of giving a disclaimer that people who are mildly and difficultly offended should not watch was a nice bait to gather views.

Apart from 2-3 jokes/insults, rest were crude attempts at insults using gaalis. Personally, I was not offended but rather saddened because millions of young people look upto both Arjun Kapoor and Ranveer Singh as their idols and watching them act like an idiot and speaking all the expletives that is there in Hindi and English will leave a "great" impression on them.


A person has filed a FIR against AIB for the content on the show that was uploaded on AIB's official channel. Though the disclaimer is shown that the shown is filthy and people who are offended should not watch away, it is more so of an enticement for someone visiting to click on the video and watch.
The content is really filthy as they claimed and they have lived upto their claim.

What disturbed me was the comments of viewers who loved and liked the show dissing the comments of people who disliked it. Comments such as "People should be more worried about rape and corruption rather than this." or "Kisne bola dekhne ko, jab likha hai toh kyu nahi padha.".

Some called the attempt as brave since nothing of this sort has been tried in India before. But do we really need to hear C***ya, A****le, B****d, M*****rF***ker etc 2-3 times in a line of joke? And its very nice to see Arjun And Ranveer taking the insults, but will the joke get through to their millions of fans that they should not use the same language and this was just a comedy act. The jokes on Ashish Shakya on his colour, on Tanmay about his weight were really toeing even the crassest of the lines. Yes Deepika Padukone, Sonakshi Sinha and Alia Bhatt

I read a post by Facebook group BhakSala founder on a blog. The comments here also asks you to be open minded and not narrow minded, I dont think people saying this know what open mindedness is.
The so called "Liberal minded" people are applauding the show, I would like them to do the same if Raju Srivastava and Kapil Sharma crack the same jokes in Hindi, Punjabi. Just because AIB used English for cuss words and brought the Town people like Karan Johar, does not make their attempt at "Roast" sophisticated.

I do hope when someone crack similar jokes on their family members or on them, they remember to be open minded. And it would be funny to see their children call them C***ya on daily basis after watching such "comedic" attempts, they still remember being open minded.


When did watching clean comedy became not hip and people who appreciate good humor, who are offended by such shows are asked to return to Comedy Nights with Kapil and Pogo or Cartoon Network on public forums like Facebook and Twitter.


If you are really open minded, instead of watching a poor attempt at copying western brand of humor and presenting it with loads of gaalis (unnecessarily), please go and help at a real charity.
