Arre, the decline wasn't just about astroturf—it was a funds-and-infrastructure tragedy! We switched surfaces but didn't build enough turfs or train coaches properly, leaving our grassroots players behind on grass. See, from my admin desk in Delhi, I've seen files move slower than a tired defender when it comes to releasing budgets for district-level turf maintenance. It's like my father's shop—if you don't invest in new inventory and just change the signboard, customers will vanish, yaar.
