And finally to know more about sports and fitness start playing !!!! Mpf offers a wide range of sports...and the ace among them is CRICKET. “Sports and Fitness”....By Mr.Durgeshji Chandak Things which I learn't from my Sports Hero I like playing and watching cricket since my childhood. I used to play for school as well as other tournaments during school & college days. We won most of the matches under my captain ship during that period. Due to cricket, I was able to develop various skills apart from physical fitness like time management, working in team, decision making, leadership, etc. Playing cricket helped me in balancing physical and mental fitness. This helped me in scoring good marks in academics as well. I am very much inspired by the God of Cricket – Sachin Tendulkar. I follow Sachin since my childhood. When I met him for the first time, it was like dream come true. There are so many things to learn from him like simplicity, dedication, commitment, fitness first (physical & mental), plays natural game without any fear/botheration, does charity without publicity, down to earth by nature, etc. etc. and the list is unending. He is mentor, motivator for many of us. "Sports for all is my vision, my dream. India has been ranked as the diabetes capital of the world and that doesn't say much about our health. We need to pay more attention to our health, get fitter, get healthier," Sachin said: "I urge every Indian to make any one sport a part of their fitness regime. You need not play the sport at a competitive level, but for fun and (to) burn some calories.” He said: "Don't worry about failures. Sometimes failures stop you from attempting something new and you never know till the time you make an attempt. So go out and chase your dreams, because dreams do come true." He also said: “Fitness is not about how one look from outside.” Younger generation do have an access to lot of indoor games but outdoor games always give greater fitness. Outdoor games provide greater absorption power, helps to stay healthy, adapt different lifestyle”. Importance of fitness in life from my angle: We need to make Swastha Bharat along with Swacha Bharat. Sport = Health Health = Wealth A healthy mind resides only in a healthy body. Both physical and mental well-being are the fundamentals of great achievements in man's life. Sports keep much importance in our life. Sports are good for a person's health as they form part of a fitness regime, which can reduce the risk of certain diseases, enhance balance and boost memory function. In addition to physical benefits, fitness can improve a person's mental health. Sports provide physical and psychological benefits to people of all ages. Physical exercise is good for mind, body and spirit. Furthermore, team sports are good for learning accountability, dedication and leadership, among many other traits. Putting it all together by playing a sport is a winning combination. How BCL Can Help You? By the time this article is published, the much awaited event of MPF must be over. However there are several benefits of participating in BCL: BCL helps stay in shape, teaches you how to organize your time, boosts friendships and builds relationships with your peers and other. This is really very good platform to build & develop your relationship. After my school days, BCL has given me an opportunity to play cricket. So thanks BCL Team for giving me an opportunity to participate in my favorite game cricket once again almost after 20 years. Special thanks to the Digital Team for giving an opportunity to write inner feelings on sports & fitness. My Favourite Sport - Cricket.....By Mr.Ajayji Zanwar Of all the outdoor games, my most favorite is cricket. This game has been popularly accepted in India in recent years since India’s good performance in international cricket. The game of Cricket is played on a large oval-shaped ground. Each team comprises of eleven players. After the toss, one team bats and the other team bowls in turn. The batmen starts batting and the fielders defend the deliveries. The game may be of a One-day match or a Test-match of five days.In a test match, each team gets two innings to play. In a One-day match (also limited overs), each team typically gets 50 overs to play. In case of Twenty20 format, the team bowls for 20 overs each. The Twenty20 cricket format is also played for one day and the results are declared on the same day. The team that scores more runs wins the match. The captains of both the teams play significant role in such a game. There are two umpires whose opinion and decision are to be accepted by the players of both the teams. Like other games, cricket is also a toilsome game and the practice of it keeps the players fit and healthy physically. Excellent team spirit and sense of discipline can be developed by joining and practicing this game. Deep concentration and determination is necessary to gain perfection. This game is rewarded as the valuable and dignified one.. Biran Charles Lara born on 02nd May 1969 is my favourite cricketer. He is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest batsmen of all time. Left handed Lara holds the record for the highest individual score in a Test innings after scoring 400 not out against England.Lara was awarded 'The Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World' awards in 1994 and 1995 and is also one of only three cricketers to receive the prestigious BBC Overseas sports Personality of the year.
