Why Some Players Get Picked… and Others Don’t
Jo main pehle nahi samajhta tha, coaching me aakar samjha.
Yeh blog likhna thoda heavy hai.
Par main jo likh raha hoon,
wo maine ground par dekha hai, feel kiya hai.
Agar aap is phase se guzar rahe ho,
toh shayad yeh words aapko thoda clarity denge.
Sab Kuch Sahi Karke Bhi Naam Kyun Nahi Aata?
Aap roz practice jaate ho.
Sabse zyada ghante dete ho.
Batting bhi acchi.
Bowling bhi tight.
Spot bowling bhi karte ho.
Phir bhi jab selection list aati hai…
aapka naam nahi hota.
Tab dimag me questions aate hain:
- “Mera talent hai bhi ya nahi?”
- “Main deserve karta hoon ya nahi?”
- “Main itna mehnat karke bhi kyun ignore ho raha hoon?”
Aur dheere-dheere ek dangerous thought:
“Kya mujhe cricket chhod dena chahiye?”
Main yeh soch samajh sakta hoon.
Kyuki main bhi us jagah se guzra hoon.
Cricket Ki Ek Reality (Jo Koi Bataata Nahi)
Jab main sirf player tha,
tab mujhe yeh baatein nahi pata thi.
Jab se main coaching side me aaya hoon,
tab mujhe cricket ki ek uncomfortable reality dikhi.
Selection sirf performance ka game nahi hota.
Selection visibility ka bhi game hota hai.
Kaise Selection Actually Hota Hai (Ground Reality)
Bahut jagah par selection ke time:
- Coach selector se poochta hai:
“Kaunsa player hai?” - Academy ka naam aata hai
- Phir wahi naam upar tak push hota hai
Kuch cases me:
- Pehchaan hoti hai
- Dosti hoti hai
- Networking hoti hai
Main yeh nahi bol raha
ki sab jagah aisa hi hota hai.
Par sach yeh hai:
- 95% jagah system imperfect hota hai
- 5% jagah genuinely fair hota hai
Aur yeh baat jitni jaldi samajh jao,
utna better hai.
Agar Aap Paisa, Academy Ya Reach Me Nahi Ho?
Maan lo:
- Aap academy me nahi ho
- Aap paisa nahi de sakte
- Aap khud se practice kar rahe ho
Toh aap invisible ho jaate ho.
Aur cricket me ek harsh truth hai:
Jo dikhta nahi, wo exist nahi karta.
Toh Aap Kya Kar Sakte Ho? (Smart Way)
Yahan rona solution nahi hai.
Yahan smart banna zaroori hai.
Kuch simple cheezein jo maine seekhi:
- Selectors ke aas-paas raho
- Unse normal baat karo
- Pehle “Good morning” bolo
- Apni tareef beech me mat ghusao
Bas nazar me raho.
Yeh bhi selection ka ek part hai.
Isko samajhna galat nahi hai,
ignorance galat hai.
Iska Matlab Talent Be-kaam Hai?
Bilkul nahi.
Talent zaroori hai.
Performance zaroori hai.
Par aaj ke system me:
Talent + Visibility = Opportunity
Sirf talent rakhoge
aur expect karoge ki koi khud aakar dhundhe —
toh zyada cases me aisa nahi hota.
Mera Honest Message (Dil Se)
Agar aap select nahi hue ho, toh iska matlab yeh nahi:
- Aap kharab ho
- Aap cricket ke layak nahi ho
Iska matlab ho sakta hai:
- Aap system ke bahar ho
Cricket chhodne se pehle
system samajhna zaroori hai.
Final Thought
Cricket sirf skill ka game nahi hai.
Cricket ek system ka game bhi hai.
Jo is system ko samajh leta hai,
wo sirf accha player nahi —
smart player ban jaata hai.
Aur aaj ke cricket me,
smart players zyada door jaate hain.
Agar yeh blog
aapko ek step bhi clarity de gaya,
toh mera likhna successful hai.
