Cricket has come a long way from being a colonial game exclusive to the British elite to a sport which is popular among masses all across the globe in the contemporary world. The populations of all the major cricket playing nations like India, Australia, England, Pakistan, Bangladesh, West Indies any many more are highly devoted to the game. The cricket stadiums all over the world are filled with fans cheering their team for victory.

One of the most significant aspects of cricket is the presence of the crowd in the stadium itself. The volume of spectators in a stadium cheering for a player can often do wonders to his confidence and ultimately, can play a major role in how he fares in the match. On the other hand, booing by a crowd may put a negative impact on a player’s performance or in some cases, motivate him to play well and command the respect of the audience.

The outbreak of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/he-had-some-mild-fever-kxip-ceo-rubbishes-absurd-rumours-of-karun-nair-testing-covid-19-positive/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">COVID-19</a> pandemic has put the game in a lot of disarrays. One of the major ways in which the virus has infected the cricketing world is in banishing the crowds from the stadiums. In order to prevent the infestation of the virus in the stadiums, all the cricket matches from now on (till the situation is brought under control) will be held behind closed doors.

The audience at times motivate their players or engage in hilarious banter with the opposition team through the creative use of banners. Such witty and playful banners will be missed dearly when the matches are played behind closed doors.

In this article, we will discuss 5 best crowd banners in cricket stadiums till now:

1. Departure details for the Australian cricket team

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-435893" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Indian-fan-banner.jpg" alt="Indian fan banner" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-435893" class="wp-caption-text">Indian fan banner.

Tensions were rife and stakes were high in the Quarter-final match between India and Australia in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011. The match was played in <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bcci-likely-to-hold-camp-for-team-india-players-in-ahmedabad-before-australia-tour/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ahmedabad </a>amidst a huge crowd of Indian supporters. Indians were up against the defending champions and 4 time World Cup winners Australia in a knockout match.

Australia, with a hat-trick of World Cup under their belt, were the dominating force in International cricket at that time. However, the threat which their presence posed to the Indian team was effectively countered by the over enthusiast Indian cricket fans. Despite suffering from a disappointing defeat against South Africa in group stages, fans had full faith in their team and cheered for them with great zeal and zest throughout the match.

One such fan took a hilarious dig at the Aussies by writing their departure schedule on a banner. It mentioned that the passengers (Australians) will depart from India from Ahemdabad on 24th March 2011, which was the date of the match effectively indicating that this match was Australia’s last in the World Cup. The supposed prophecy came true when Australians were knocked out in the match and had to make their journey back home.

2. Importance of ‘THE WALL’

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-435897" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Rahul-Dravid-banner.jpg" alt="Rahul Dravid banner" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-435897" class="wp-caption-text">Rahul Dravid banner. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman marked one of the brightest eras in Indian cricket. The 4 iconic batsmen with their varied set of skills proved to be a nightmare for the opposition. There has been a lot of debate among the cricketing pundits about who had the biggest impact on Indian cricket during the 2000s.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/why-kapil-devs-statements-on-sachin-tendulkar-are-clearly-uncalled-for/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sachin Tendulkar</a>, the highest run-scorer in the history of International cricket is fondly called as the ‘God of Cricket’ by his fans. Rahul Dravid was called as ‘The Wall’ because of his impenetrable defences and his patient and huge innings’. Sourav Ganguly was frankly called as the ‘God of off-side’ because of his elegant shots in that direction. Also, VVS Laxman was called as ‘God of 4th innings’ because of the numerous instances in which he saved his team’s skin in the last innings of the test match after Sachin, Ganguly and Dravid failed.

Thus, there is a lot of infighting amongst fans as to whose contributions were the most significant during the 2000s. A Rahul Dravid fan took a hilarious dig on other players with this banner which say that after temples close, even gods have to go behind a wall.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-435896" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/MS-Dhonis-child-fans-banner.jpg" alt="MS Dhoni's child fan's banner" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-435896" class="wp-caption-text">MS Dhoni&#8217;s child fan&#8217;s banner.

Ever since the Indian Premier League started, cricket in India has not remained the same. The targeted demographic of the tournament has also increased as the people from all age groups have started enjoying the tournament and the activities surrounding it. The fact that some of the greatest cricketers in the world play together in the tournament for franchises owned by other stars is undoubtedly an interesting proposition.

IPL has brought cricket into the mainstream and has made the game a household affair. Amongst the audience, there is a large number of school-children who have taken a fancy to the sport. More and more children are being engrossed in the sport as the years pass.

An evident example of their rising interest in the sport can be seen in a match between the Chennai Super Kings and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/reports-ipl-teams-considering-staying-in-resorts-over-five-star-hotels-in-the-uae-mumbai-indians-planning-for-an-entire-apartment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mumbai Indians</a>. A child is seen holding a banner which says that he is skipping his homework in order to watch the match and is asking Dhoni to make the punishment he would receive for missing his work worth it. Interestingly, a similar poster was held up by a South African fan in an International match involving the Proteas.

4. The type of Ashes matters

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-435895" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/England-fan-banner.jpg" alt="England fan banner" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-435895" class="wp-caption-text">England fan banner. (Photo Source: YouTube)</figcaption>

The Ashes is one of the oldest and most prestigious trophies in the history of cricket. The age-old cup, vied for by the oldest teams in international cricket (England and Australia), is one of the things still keeping Test cricket relevant in this age of accelerated cricket. The Ashes is a highly intense affair in which both teams are rife with pressure and anxiety.

The term ‘Ashes’ originated in a satirical obituary in a British newspaper after <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/july-31-1956-when-jim-laker-ran-through-australias-batting-line-up-all-alone/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Australia’s </a>first victory on English soil. It stated that English cricket has died and the body will be cremated and ashes will be taken to Australia. Ever since then, Ashes has become an ultimate rivalry between two cricketing giants.

The fans play an important role in the ashes with their constant support as well as banter. In one of such banner, an English fan took a dig on Australia by saying that the only Ashes the Australians will take home will be the ones which would be left from the fireworks (after England’s Victory).

5. Watching the match in a stadium &gt; Keeping your wife’s car

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-435894" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Wifes-car-banner.jpg" alt="Wife's car banner" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-435894" class="wp-caption-text">Wife&#8217;s car banner. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Cricket fans, especially from India have a tendency to go overboard to show their love for the game and its players. Some of the fans paint themselves in tricolour in order to support their nation while other chant praises for the team throughout the match. The crowds are filled to their maximum capacity whenever the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/sachin-tendulkar-himself-knows-how-lucky-he-was-in-2011-wc-semi-final-ashish-nehra/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Indian </a>team takes centre stage.

There have been many reports of people going to crazy lengths just to watch a match inside the stadium. The uncontrollable crowd around the stadiums is a testimony to the fans love for their teams. People also don’t shy away from showing off their sacrifices for the team in front of everyone else.

In one such instance, a spectator held a banner which said that he sold his wife’s car in order to get to the venue and watch the match. While many people may praise him for his dedication, it can definitely be said that it takes a lot of courage to show such a bargain on international television.

The fans play an important role in the ashes with their constant support as well as banter. In one of such banner, an English fan took a dig on Australia by saying that the only Ashes the Australians will take home will be the ones which would be left from the fireworks (after England’s Victory).

Cricket fans, especially from India have a tendency to go overboard to show their love for the game and its players. Some of the fans paint themselves in tricolour in order to support their nation while other chant praises for the team throughout the match. The crowds are filled to their maximum capacity whenever the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/sachin-tendulkar-himself-knows-how-lucky-he-was-in-2011-wc-semi-final-ashish-nehra/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Indian </a>team takes centre stage.
There have been many reports of people going to crazy lengths just to watch a match inside the stadium. The uncontrollable crowd around the stadiums is a testimony to the fans love for their teams. People also don’t shy away from showing off their sacrifices for the team in front of everyone else.
In one such instance, a spectator held a banner which said that he sold his wife’s car in order to get to the venue and watch the match. While many people may praise him for his dedication, it can definitely be said that it takes a lot of courage to show such a bargain on international television.

The audience at times motivate their players or engage in hilarious banter with the opposition team through the creative use of banners.
