Cricketing superstitions

“A superstition is the belief that events are influenced by specific behaviors, without having a causal relationship.”

Everybody has something or the other that they follow unconsciously.The game cricket is also no exception.

Indo-Pak cricket in the ‘80s and ‘90s was full of superstition — like playing a Friday final meant Pakistan’s win was a given, while a Saturday schedule
suited the Indians.

Some of the famous superstitions held by the cricketers :-

•Sanath Jayasuriya clearly pats his pad and adjusts his helmet after every ball he faces.
•Mahela Jayawardena always kisses his bat after every stroke.
