What if Wayne Rooney was ever an Indian Footballer?

Wayne Rooney 

Wayne Rooney, charismatic England international, is one of the finest players the world has ever seen. The player has an incredible fan following throughout the globe and has achieved almost everything which other protagonist in his field failed to do. I have specially assumed Wayne Rooney to be part of this scenario because he is always bound with controversies and that qualifies him to be an Indian sportsman.
I would like to bring in some of the events which could have possibly happened, if he was ever part of Indian National Team.

The star in the blue jersey has all started waving his magic for the national team.  He has now turned out to be more popular than Sachin Tendulkar (but still far behind Rajnikanth). The people are now slowly turning their attention towards football from cricket. Rooney has now become more important for media compared to Dhoni.

Some of the series of things which would have happened are as follows:

Wayne Rooney linked up with Poonam Pandey:
If any sportsman is popular in India then they have to be ultimately linked up with a Bollywood star. So Poonam Pandey, a model very close to sporting fraternity for all wrong reasons, is perfect for this. The stories about them being in relationship are fueling in tabloids and have become one of the major events in the country.

 Wayne Rooney in a reality show:
How can reality show producers waste this opportunity? We have already seen Baichung Bhutia in ‘Jhalak Dikhlaja’, so Rooney cannot miss this opportunity. The whole country is now watching Rooney dancing on some Bollywood numbers. This has resulted in skipping his practice sessions, leading it to a battle with team management.

Rooney in a rally with Congress:
If popular and with controversies, one is qualified to become a politician in India. Rooney having these special qualities has now automatically become part of a political rally. In his speech he would have claimed that, “in his childhood he never had a ground to play, but when congress came to power he got football grounds and that is why he has reached this heights today.” He would have appealed the masses to vote for congress.

In the end Rooney hang his boots.

This must have seemed to be funny but this is what happens in India. The reason behind this blog was not to show the negativity in the country. This was a prior warning to all Indian Footballers who are all ready to be part of fame and fortune in near future.

The love for football is increasing, recently in Facebook I saw 1123 comments on news related to Indian football and 2225 people liking it. It is clearly evident that football is getting popular in India. This seems to be a good indication but as it said, “More the power more the responsibility.”

I would like to apologize if this blog has hurt sentiments of any person!

  2. Haha! I liked your imagination. The post is very humorous. But the fact stated remains true, if Rooney would have been an Indian player. And on a second note, i agree to the fact that the fever of football in India is very high now.

  4. When you look at the kids today, playing football is one common thing amongst all of them which they will abide to.By this,one can surely guess that the craze of football has taken it's toll. Be it for impressing girls or may be their passion and love for the game or may be for status symbol amongst peer groups, there is a considerable increase in the number of people liking football which was not the case earlier. And yes, be it Rooney or be it anyone, a star cannot be a star if he is not involved in any controversy! Popularity is a double-edged sword. Controversies are bound to happen.
