Given the extensive popularity of the sport, driven by huge fan following, unfazed passion of the players and the very magnetic charm and aura of the sport itself, Cricket drives unanimous interest and attraction from large sections of society not just in India, but across the globe. This is one sport that have been widely followed across generations and continues to mesmerise increasing number of people, as people relate to this sport in their everyday lives. It is no wonder, that not only at times of big cricketing tournaments, but also otherwise, cricket-crazy nations track every major development of the sport and it becomes the talk of town for common conversations.

Considering that every country has a portion of its population that belongs to a corporate culture and also keenly follows sports, it is natural to draw parallels and inferences from the game and incorporate those learnings into our professional lives. Reflecting on this observation, it became evident to me that many of the strategies used on the pitch are similar to those used in boardrooms.

Being an avid cricket fan and having led a corporate life for significant years, I have crafted some observations which can be inferred as six lessons from the world of cricket that I believe can steer any organisation towards success:

To me, these invaluable lessons serve as a constant reminder that while the context may differ, the principles guiding success remain consistent across both cricket and the corporate sphere. As the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 unfolds, I earnestly hope that more businesses benefit from these insights into their playbook for achieving success in the corporate world.
