Value of Sports and Games

Muhammed Jasim PV

There is a famous couplet. “All work and no play; makes Jack a dull boy.” These lines show the importance of sports and games (Football, Cricket, Hockey, Badminton, Kho-Kho, etc.). It is an exercise game to keep our body and mind light. The blood circulation increases and our organs start functioning properly. These games teach the basics of social value, discipline manners and such other qualities.

                A sportsman spirit know all parts of all laws in sports and importance. Still, India doesn’t have a good fame in sports like Football, Volleyball, Basket Ball, FI, etc., except Cricket, Badminton, Hockey, etc.

                Now Cricket is a popular game. And India has a prestige value in Cricket. India won two Cricket world cups, two T20 world cups and so many others in 2021. India beat big teams like England, Australia and others but India lost in the final world test championship against New Zealand. That’s not a problem for decreasing India’s value.

Hockey is an indoor game. Dhyan Chand was a famous Hockey player. Indians celebrate hockey day on the birthday of Dhyan Chand. In Chess, Table Tennis, Carrom and etc., Many countries are continue training and practicing to achieve name and fame in those items. All countries are trying to achieve prestige name and fame.
