Mithali used to resort to books to ease the tension

- Where there is competition there is strong tension. Mithali Raje has proved that book reading is an excellent medicine

Every crisis lives a life. People come up with ideas, and to see them flush it out, it's really fun. Some smoke cigarettes or bidis, some take a single dose of intoxicants and some sniff drugs. But Mithali Raje, who recently said goodbye to every level of women's cricket, said nicely and exemplaryly that she reads a book to ease pre-match tensions. This sounds like a sweet weed in the desert. On the one hand, people's reading is declining and the best books are not being sold.

People either watch TV or spend time doing activities they like to divert their attention during tensions. But by talking about reading a book to ease the tension, Mithali has set a new expectation. Diverting attention elsewhere tends to sidestep the issue with the original tension. So the mind gets peace.

He was most tense before the results of the 10th and 12th standard were announced recently. What would come and what would happen became a household problem. At such times, students are deprived of sleep. Tension is released after the result.

Tension is the cause of the mind. Experts say to stabilize the mind or divert it elsewhere. It is very difficult to divert the mind in sports. Mithali Raj is a big name in women's cricket. Here we are not talking about his achievements, but the remedy he has shown to ease the tension. Mithali Raj loves to read books. He travels everywhere but has a book in his bag. She was reading a book to ease the tension before it was her turn to bat in the match against England. A photo of her sitting on an armchair reading a book wearing a pad on her feet went viral on social media. At that time, the Indian team won by 6 runs, in which Mithali became the first woman cricketer to hit a half century for the seventh time in a row. Mithali believes that one can play very well after the tension has eased.

When Mithali was asked about her hobby of reading books, she said that after reading the book 'Life Essentials' given to me by my fielding coach, I got into the habit of reading. At an event in 2012, he said that reading books gives peace of mind and eases tension. I always read a Kindle or a book when it's my turn to bat. Photos of him holding a book and reading were circulating when he was due to play against England in the 203 World Cup final.

There is a lot of tension between athletes and sportspersons during matches. To release this tension, some cricketers chew gum, some hit the bat, some leave the shoelaces tied. Some of the players sitting in the pavilion will be seen drinking cold drinks, but no one will be seen holding a book. In the last overs, the cricketers and the spectators are all sitting. However there are some rarities like Mithali Raj, who appears to be reading a book before his daw comes.

Sports people are rarely book lovers. To cope with the tension, they have to climb many detours. Relieving tension is not easy. Players in World Cup football are so tense that call girls are used to ease their tension. Methods like yoga and meditation require long practice. Where there is competition there is intense tension. Mithali Raje has proved that book reading is an excellent medicine. Mithali's talk should be marketed and the new generation forgetting the track of reading should be drawn in that direction.
