SUCCESS OF SPORTS IN INDIA

WHY ONLY CRICKET??

• It is not merely that cricket is popular in India, it is that it dominates organized sports in the country in a manner that few sports dominate any large country in the world. Name most largish countries and at last two or three sports come to mind: Britain has football, cricket and rugby; the US has American football, baseball, basketball and even ice hockey; Australia has Australian football, rugby, cricket and football. And the few exceptions, like Brazil or Argentina, at least focus on the world’s most popular sport. Only India has embraced a sport of relatively limited popularity as its own.
