Sports is considered one of the most sought-after pass-times to have a positive impact on individuals and society in various ways, including physical and mental health, national unity, economic growth and enhancing international relations. Behind the screens players and administrators have different versions which are not often shared. Adiga brings to light the nuances involved in playing a part of any team, the passion, dedication and hard work and also the disappointments that come with it. Through Aravind Adiga's Selection Day (2016), the aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between sensationalism and the game of cricket, as well as the potential for talented cricketers to go from obscurity to fame. With cricket as its central theme, Selection Day embraces the gloomy side of a busy city, Mumbai, and the hopes and disappointments of its citizens, in a Dickensian manner. Aravind Adiga, the 2008 Booker Prize winner, a social critic examines themes like family, identity, ambition, and socioeconomic status along with more significant issues like corruption in sports and the effects of globalisation on Indian society. Though some degree of sensationalism is often a natural part of sports reporting, as it can add to the excitement and drama of a match, Adiga views this sensationalism as the problem of the country. Selection Day is packed with observant, accurate insights concerning the risks of raising children in a country where politics and sports have degraded into demeaning forms of popular entertainment. Adiga exhorts the readers to view sports as merely a kind of entertainment.
