Consistency In Cricket

Consistency In Cricket 

Consistency in cricket is very crucial. If talent is more important than consistency, Vinod Kambli would have been more successful than Sachin Tendulkar. If attitude is more important than consistency in cricket, Ajinkya Rahane would be more successful than Kohli. Consistency is an integral part of every sport. MS Dhoni would have been a more successful batsman than Kohli if reading the game was more important than the consistency. If passion is more important than consistency, Yuvraj would have been more successful than Kohli.

Then how come Virat is more consistent?

To be successful, you have to be consistent. To be consistent, you have to understand the mantra of “eat, sleep, train, and repeat”. You have to work on your training and eating habits too. Whatever you do in your life if you want to be a valuable person then you must be consistent in your performance. If you are consistent, then people can believe in you.

Everyone looks for the magic key to consistency so that they can achieve more success. However, there is no magic key to success. Therefore consistency & success are the results of boring and disciplined hard work. You must have to work through the boring routines regularly. If you give up, it means the game is over. You have to keep fighting & working hard constantly. A real champion always gets up when he is down.

Some players think skipping practice and eating junk food sometimes will not affect them, but they are wrong. Consistency is a tough & boring habit. It is a habit that requires discipline. A Test cricketer hits thousands of balls every day because he knows that practice will help him during a time of pressure.

Make sure your concentration & intentions are good, not only on the field but off the field too. If you intend to improve your game, then only you will be able to find the path to success. Once Virat Kohli got out on 167 and went to the gym that evening. The trainer asked him why he was in the gym, as he had batted for six to seven hours. Virat said that “he wants to convert these innings into double or triple hundreds, and it is only possible if he does a workout when he is tired”.

What are the results of working hard on consistency?

Imagine if you work hard on our consistency, you will be able to bowl well throughout the 50 overs. You will bowl with discipline, save many runs in the field, take all the catches, and score some extra runs through good running between the wickets.

You must be very determined to get better every day. Whenever you step onto the field, you must enter it with a winning mindset only. Your practice must be like you are playing a match. You must have complete concentration during practice time & in the game. You must not talk or play flashy shots. Your mindset at the practice is very crucial. I hate it whenever a player talks a lot during practice because you should not waste a moment of practice time. You should avoid repeating the mistakes again and again. Any player must practice the way they want to play.

Success and consistency are the outcomes of passion, hard work, discipline, and a strong mindset. Try to do conscious practice to get through boring routines. Try to stay full while training & analyze your strength and weaknesses. Constantly look for areas where you can make improvements. There is no limit in cricket to improving your game. You have to consistently work hard. I would advise that if you take the game seriously, then surround yourself with people on the same mission. You may lose friends, but those people can pull you down and stop you from achieving your goals.

Asanas or body postures and positions such as padmasana (full-lotus, half-lotus), cross-legged sitting, seiza, and kneeling positions are popular in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism,[49] although other postures such as sitting, supine (lying), and standing are also used. Meditation is also sometimes done while walking, known as kinhin, while doing a simple task mindfully, known as samu, or while lying down, known as shavasana.[50][51]

Potential adverse effects and limits of meditation

The understanding of the potential for adverse effects in meditation is evolving. In 2014, the US government-run National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health suggested that: A 2020 review examined 83 studies (a total of 6,703 participants) and found that 55 of those studies reported negative experiences related to meditation practices. The researchers concluded that about 8 percent of participants had a negative effect from practicing meditation, which is similar to the percentage reported for psychological therapies.[142]

Another 2021 review found negative impacts in 37% of the sampled participants in mindfulness-based programmes, with lasting bad effects in 6–14% of the sample, associated with hyperarousal and dissociation.[143] Principles of informed consent require that treatment choice be based in part on the balance of benefits to harms, and therefore can only be made if harms are adequately measured and known. Meditation is not helpful if it used to avoid facing ongoing problems or emerging crises in the meditator’s life. In such situations, it may instead be helpful to apply mindful attitudes while actively engaging with current problems.

The psychological and physiological effects of meditation have been studied. In recent years, studies of meditation have increasingly involved the use of modern instruments, such as fMRI and EEG, which are able to observe brain physiology and neural activity in living subjects, either during the act of meditation itself or before and after meditation.
