Cricket was once the favored sport of Europe’s wealthy and sophisticated. A match took days to play and rewarded endurance and strategy over action and risk-taking. But when its popularity fell in the 20th century, a new country picked it up, loved it, and is now transforming it. India is a cricket-mad country that has given cricket a new shorter format, a new lucrative league, and a new life.
07:59 Sachin Tendulkar came from a middle-class family, not a wealth family.

CORRECTION: at 7:59 I mistakenly describe Sachin Tendulkar as coming from a "wealthy family". Instead, he came from a middle-class family. I deeply apologize for the mistake and appreciate those who have pointed it out. Thanks again for watching.

I'm sure Sachin with his billions will not take any action!
Sam you've also screwed up the geography of India by not showing Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh to be a part of India.

Great 👍
As an NFL fan living in a community of largely Indian nationals, this was very informative. Goad to have this bit of knowledge tucked away for casual conversation 😃👍
What's NFL😂rugby?
@@talkingdropsAmerican football
The football is in play less than 6 minutes a game. Your watching 3 hours of commerical and running time. Your supporting a corporation that black listed a quarterback because he asked for equal rights and to end racism in the NFL. Thanks for supporting whats ruining this country for everyones children and the future. Good luck watching now u will see how bad football is, just count the time the football is hiked to the play ending, avg is about 5:45 minutes. Its stupidly pathetic propoganda that loves racism.
That's so sweet and considerate of you to say
@@lachlanchester8142so rugby?
Another important point you missed is that just like rise of TV coincided with India winning the WC, rise of T20 coincided with the streaming boom (which itself coincided with the mobile data boom). Now you could watch matches anywhere you liked. This boosted the participation of the middle and poor class even more.
you mentioned very important points this video could have easily been converted into a documentary
I think it doesnt matter which country you are from, which color your skin is or which nationality you have, its always a nice sight to see England lose, even more so in a Sport they invented in the first place.
How petty can you get 😂🤡
why .. this is so silly
Lollll had us in the first half 😅😂
They won cricket WC few years ago so it doesn't matter
True
India just won the Semifinals against New Zealand. PS: It also broke the streaming record of 53 million concurrent viewers.
Well we all know what happened in the finals😢. But on the bright side it crossed 59million streaming on OTT.
*the 53 million was just online on Disney+ live.
It would be even more on TV
53 million dorks
The fifa World cup still is more popular
@@sarvaraidu2811 so is McDonald’s burgers. Doesn’t mean it’s good

Another thing to note is that franchises in IPL don't care about lobbying and connections of power as much as state or national boards. The teams function on a budget so it is very crucial to always find hidden gems for cheap. That is why they have pan nation scouting, even picking players that have played very little domestic cricket.
You don't have to brown nose someone for opportunity in this league.
And when the big teams lose to the smaller ones is always a upset
Didn't You See the wrong map of India??😡😡
Didn't You See the wrong map of India??😡😡
@@rahuldhaka5765 yes and no. As Indians we want to see the "proper" and whole map of India. But as neutrals, they are free to chose. We can't force them.
In fact, this is a good way to show disputed territories. There are other media outlets who show PoK as part of Pakistan. So even from that point of view, this is better.
@rahuldhaka5765 would Pakistanis be mad then about wrong map? What about Chinese territory? Have to show the map of reality of the control not what a country likes it to be.
Fun Facts:
- In my grandfather’s time (Pre-1947), playing cricket meant importing the kit from England.
- Watching the game was a task unto itself for my mother and other family members who would have to ascertain players by their gait and height.
The overlap is getting uncanny haha
But you’re always there commenting early
@@Arishtanxmi Overlap is because of algorithm. Also, hello!
@@PokhrajRoy.hahaha hey Ironman 😂 I have kept my history off since ages but still youtube got the algorithm
What a phenomenal explainer video. I was a bit disappointed at first that the video didn't dive into any of the specifics of over or rules that dictate *why* T20 is 3 hours vs ODIs or Test matches, but honestly, you did such a good job focusing on the history and international narrative that the sports fan in me didn't even mind. Keep up the great work Search Party
thanks so much that's very kind
The very short version:
1. One innings in T20 lasts until you lose 10 wickets or play 120 balls (20 6-ball "overs"*, hence the name T20). Each team plays one inning.
2. One innings in an ODI lasts until you lose 10 wickets or play 300 balls (50 6-ball "overs"). Each team plays one inning. Longer innings = longer games.
3. Both teams play two innings in a test match. There's no ball limit on an innings, but the match ends in a draw if no one wins by the end of five days of cricket.
*Each over consists of 6 balls, bowled by one player. The same player cannot bowl two consecutive overs. There are 2 batsmen on the field at any time and they rotate strike at the end of each over.
Made some generalisations that are wrong:
Aussie rules football is a winter sport and cricket is a summer sport so they’ve never competed with each other. Aussie rules and rugby fans typically play and watch cricket during summer
Pakistan is literally the kind of Cricket, they have defeated almost every country and most Indians even cheer for Pakistan, look it up@@akshittripathi5403
@@akshittripathi5403 the main differentiation between them is concept of powerplays, over limit

Well researched lol
@@Search-PartyFor every indian country comes first so use correct map of india as indians will not like it
@@soumadipghosh9492 You sounds like exaggerating
The Indian map is wrong.. Either correct it or take this video down bcoz its disrespectful for us!! Kashmir is a Part of India which is missing in your map
One correction: Sachin was not from a "wealthy" upper caste family. His father had four children, was a salaried employee (a college professor, teaching Marathi literature, not exactly a STEM subject). His mother was an insurance agent (again, not exactly a very high earning vocation in India). Secondly, "caste" wasn't a consideration for team selection, so Sachin wasn't a product of casteist favoritism. Case in point: Sachin's classmate, Vinod Kambli, was from a so called lower caste family, but found a place in the Indian team anyway. He couldn't hold on to that spot due to injuries and a drinking (and discipline) problem.
The general description is very ignorant though to the point of a lie to build false narrative especially because "upper" and "lower" caste is not a set thing, you can pretty much change the definition as you want as he seems to be doing. Also caste is not really a hierarchy, this is just western projection; it gets so tiring with these ignorant people trying to be social justice warriors.
That's true
Caste was not consideration?. OBC & SC communities are 70% in population. But 1 or 2 OBC players plays for India. And no Dalits. And ur saying caste is not qualification in cricket without any shame...🤦
@@gobimurugesan2411 selection committee consists of professionals. The entire process is scrutinized thoroughly. Everyone stays in public eye. So yes, caste considerations are on a decline, not just in cricket, but throughout all activities, even politics now.
Cricket has always been performance and numbers oriented.
Find some other reason for exclusion of minorities
@gobimurugesan2411 SC ST make up ~20 % of the population, and OBC is made up criteria and every state has its own rule about who is backward and who is not. It's a big mess. Either way 70% is a joke, if you want to feel like a victim no one can help you, but caste does not affect cricket much. There are plenty of players from all communities in the team and IPL.

I really love this video but At 5:53 why did you show the upper part of India, that is J&K, like a buffer zone, it's not a buffer zone it is and was the part of India, kindly correct it.
Yes! you are absolutely right, he just showed the wrong map of India, it should be shown the upper part not as a buffer zone but as part of India, kindly fix your geography knowledge @Simple Party
Yeah even in the end he showed the upper part as a buffer zone

just an update for anyone who might be interested, Virat Kohli broke Sachin's record in ODI cricket 3 hours before the release of this video.
Not interesred😂
I am. Thanks for the info dude!
You were wrong about that. He mentioned most runs by a player in the history of cricket ever, currently Virat Kohli is on 26,000 runs and Sachin Tendulkar has made 34,000+ runs. He still hasn't broke Sachin's record but time will arrive when he will.

I’m loving this channel SO MUCH! Such an outstanding work, Sam, congratulations!
Cricket for India is not a sport it's an emotion 🇮🇳🕊️
Hey, I am from India and watching this video. Just realized that the map this video is showing does not properly represent Jammu & Kashmir as a part of India. I live there and I can surely say that it's a proper part of India. I don't understand why this video excluded J&K state from India
There is so much wrong with this upload in how it frames every ICC decision as based on imperialism, race and/or class. I guess you're playing for views, which is to play to the Indian market, hats off to you for your hustle. Shame you could tell the story with more truth, less bias.

Whats with the consistent use of the word "Uppercaste" in a cricket video by Search Party?!
I mean technically I myself am a scheduled caste person but no one in my family including myself identify as that and none of the friends I made in my life have ever asked me that.
@SearchParty you are living in the past, you really need to send your reporters/journalists down here instead of takingthe usual guided poverty tours.
I'm fan btw wishing you the best. 👍
IPL Supremacy 🔥
Trust me IPL saved Cricket in India especially the youngsters . If it weren't for the IPL , Football would have easily taken over Cricket by now but Cricket is more popular in India today than it was even before . IPL 2023 TV & Digital Viewership was off the charts. In Just 15 years , people have started associating with the Teams just like any other Football club in Europe and it's gonna only grow further from here . Test Cricket enthusiasts don't like it but it's the Future
Even 2023 World cup broke all viewership records
All hail Modi.. The Lalit one

Lalit Modi the former vice president of BCCI once said: in IPL India wins everyday which is why the audiences love it so much!

When I read the description about your channel I was damn sure that someday you are going to cover about how obsessed we South Asians are about cricket especially we Indians. Cricket is something that always unite us despite of our caste, religion, ethnicity, race etc. But I never thought it would be this too early. As the world cup is reaching to it's conclusion, this is by far the best time your channel put this analysis video On CZcams. Even though I'm not much into cricket but the enthusiasm among all of us regarding cricket is very real. I haven't missed your single analysis video since the inception of your CZcams channel and the way you and your team explore different pieces of information whether it's geopolitical issues or sports related stuff, It truly fasinates me as a viewer. Keep it up. Lot's of love from India.

All this just to get destroyed by the MIGHTY AUSSIES IN THE FINAL!!!
@@pkdl8228muh economy.😂
Idk why you are emphasizing on Caste sooooooo much, it's not a big deal here in India, especially in cricket, Indian cricket is strictly a meritocracy and has been for a long time, the so called "lower caste" players have been playing for the Indian team since the early 1920s, even becoming captains of the team later on. Stop portraying India as some kind of backward caste based society. Oh and also Sachin Tendulkar was definitely not from a wealthy, he was from a very ordinary humble background and i don't know or care what his caste is. The upper caste lower caste thing is just a narrative created by the west, the upper castes are not wealthy oppressors, most of them are poor or middle class in incomes and neither are the lower castes some oppressed marginalized community, they have a similar standard of living to most upper caste people that being middle class and ordinary.
How many lower caste people in main squad ???
Caste matters buddy. acknowledge your privilege.
You are saying all this nonsense because you never faced casteism.
It is not about financial situation it is about social situation.
Sachin and kambli are the example of this. both did not came from strong financial support. But one become a god. Believe or not in some way caste helped him a lot. In eyes of elite management , elite investors and sponsors.
@@jediknight8738 how many lower caste people are out of the squad simple because they are lower caste is the real question. Why would you want someone who's not good enough in the team simply because they're from a specific caste? Idk why you are trying to show that there is some kind of grand conspiracy and systematic oppression in play here, there isn't. Kambli literally got so many opportunities, he couldn't perform, the fact that he did play for the country is proof that casteism isn't at play here. Just accept that Indian cricket is a meritocracy and whoever plays well gets opportunities regardless of their caste and if they stay in the team or not is purely based in their performance.
@@daanishsumbre7171 Higher caste = on average more money = on average more opportunities. If you're too busy working to provide, then where will there be time to play cricket? And vice versa. There's a reason things like affirmative action existed in America, and there's a reason Americans talk about it so much. It has very real consequences that are often overlooked. It's not a critique of India, just something that needs to be mentioned when discussing socioeconomic matters concerning India.
In the study "Wealth inequality, class, and caste in India: 1961-2012" it is very easily seen that lower castes have a disproportionately lesser household income. The caste system is not as prevalent as it used to be, that much is certain, but its consequences are certainly not vanished. It's the same way India is poorer than it should be because of British rule. Even though it was many many years ago, the effects of it are still seen in India today, just like the effects of the caste system are seen in India today as well.
So…. basically India fell in love with Cricket cause they found that they are able to use this sport to “Beat the British” haha. Might be simplistic view, but that was the main view I think here
Love the ‘football’ instead of soccer and ‘match’ instead of game. So much so I’ll give you a pass that you used the UEFA champions league trophy as the CWC trophy. Great content
Prior to T20, New Zealand had a format called Cricket Max which was, for all intents and purposes, the precursor to the condensed format we have now - the one difference being a more equally enhanced set of rules for both batsman and bowlers, rather than the batting heavy game we have today. Great vid!
Poor Indians need to focus on increasing per capita which is only 2600$ rather than doing this nonsense india has the most poor and hungry people living in this world and reduce population and slums
Its disrespectful to associate Sachin with his caste. Caste no bar for team India's selection. And also, at best he was from a middle class background. He is much more than his caste and wealth.
One of the best cricket explanations and cricket videos I have seen. Good luck for the video cricket + politics. Looking forward to it.
Commenting for your channel's growth. Keep making videos. You got it!
Small mistake, at 9:23 you said that ‘Australians preferred Australian rules football’. It had already been very popular long before this, and the sport that actually surged around this time was rugby league.
And in and around the 90s their union team won 2 rwcs, further saturating the sports market
I'm indian but recently got to know cricket is the national sport there , should rugby union or afl be , whilst cric the biggest in India still india doesn't have a national sport
@@Krankenwagen571 rugby union is nowhere near the largest sport in Australia. Cricket is used as the National sport because it’s the only sport that’s popular around the country. Technically association football is as well, but there are too many people who still hate it with a passion for it be our National sport.

Honey I think you have Google right? Just search 🔎 no1 country in all formats. And ICC is literally run now by India. It's like Europe or Britain almost controls football but rarely won World Cup. Does that make any sense to you.
was waiting for this one as soon as you guys decided to put the first video in
Fun Fact: before IPL, there was ICL, the Indian Cricket League. But BCCI refused to recognise it and banned the national team players from playing in it. After two seasons ICL was discontinued.
It is a bit of a shame that test cricket is dying out. Sure, T20 is more exciting, but test cricket is unique among modern sports. It's not focused on entertainment or selling a product. It's a sport at heart.
Who the hell introduces sachin by saying he is from upper caste
Westerners see india still as nation of snake charmers.
I have been expecting this content on Cricket at Search Party from the day channel launched. Great analysis and dissection of the game. Awesome !
What a great video! Kudos to new creators like search party who have the potential to hook a viewer for the entire length of the video. loved your work. subscribed and shared..
I've been watching a lot of the World Cup that is currently going on. My first real experience watching cricket. It's awesome. Even if the matches last 8+ hours. It's the perfect sport to put on in the background while you work on other things. Exciting enough to grab your attention when you need a distraction, but not too engaging that you have to be glued to the TV.

Watching this right after the semi final with New Zealand, best luck to India against Australia or South Africa
A tad inaccurate to say australia prefers AFL and South Africa and NZ prefers rugby. Cricket and those sports or on almost completely different seasons. Cricket in the summer while those sports are in the winter. Most of the same AFL grounds host the big cricket matches
Nothing to do with seasons. The point was that more people love rugby than cricket, thus it is not number 1 sport there, unlike India
I subscribed you from my main account Johnny Harris told about this channel in his video and I am in more love with this channel as you covered Cricket quite precisely in a short time ❤
Great story telling but disliking it because of few points you made. 1) Mentioning cast, creed of a player which I personally take offence to (I am from a minority called Jains). 2) Showing Kashmir as a different territory rather than Indian state. 3) Sachin Tendulkar didn't lead Indian side, he was captain for a very short time.
India does okay. They haven’t won 6 world cups though. 🇦🇺
There’s a film called Lagaan. It’s about how cricket came to India and it’s amazing if you wanna watch it. That’s how I learnt the rules of the game
😂😂
Hopefully that's sarcasm. It's a completely fictional flick.
Was excited for it since you first teased it
i absolutely loved the introduction of this video. Phenomenally beautiful video.
I was little surprised ..he made a video on indian cricket and did not blame modi 😂😂...turns out it is reserved for future video.. 😂😂😂....
I think it's cute that India actually thought they could beat Australia. THE WORLD CUP IS OURS FOREVER!!!!
Looks like if the MLB wants to improve the league they need to take note from India’s T20
You put India and Cricket in the same sentence. Summon the Indian internet.

Wow, seeing the NFL value so far ahead of every other league is kinda surprising. I knew it was huge but damn.
thanks for covering!
That intro made me subscribe! Insane quality editing for a free CZcams video!
What a phenomenal video. Very informative. Though, I’d like to add one point with the rise of cricket 🏏, there was the rise of BCCI. The Indian cricket board has its own rags to riches story, starting with the ODI World Cup and ending with IPL. At first, the board was actually paying for broadcasting of test matches, and even some ODI matches. Now, they sold the rights to IPL for ₹23 crores. And India will probably win the World Cup too.
Meanwhile australia 🦘🦘
As big as cricket is becoming in India, it has become cancerous to overall sports environment in India
This is the reason India lacks so behind in Olympics even though having the most people in the world.
Cricket is given TOO much importance here
kind of like hockey in canada
No one cares about olympics,olympics is a tool to destroy America competers,Do you really think ,1940 the germany and 2008 china got the olympic rights is just a coincidence huh 😂😂😂😂😂
So who is stopping you to support other sport? Every country has its favourite sport. USA play NFL, and baseball which also isn't olympics sport still they top every time.
then one must ask how cricket is so popular and important in India yet they’re still on par with significantly smaller countries like England and Australia?
We 1.4 billion people love this sport, that's what really matters to us. We don't want to become 'superpower'. We join every international cricket tournament and arrange tournaments in our country where every big cricket player can join. I am not a fan of Modi but modi is definitely not controlling the sport. Neither there is any sort of castism or classism involved.
"Where every big cricket player can join" expect if he's from Pakistan**
India doesn't play in BBL coz of BJP control on BCCI
India lost the final coz of Modi
Loving Search Party so far. Keep it up ^_^
and we lost cwc finale😔
I still remember the first IPL match. Brendon McCullum from New Zealand played amazingly that day and if memory serves me correctly he broke a world record that day for the fastest T20 century in the season opener.
I think it was also the highest score for AGES til Chris Gale broke it a few years back
in india pitches are so flat, batting records mean nothing.
I had no Idea of this, this is so huge, WHAT😳?
