In my view, cricket has the most popular fanbase worldwide. Some of you said that other sports also have the same popularity but it wasn't. By the way, most popular sports will quickly reach the people.
Moreover, India has the most talented players and huge fan-following cricketers even like Small Child to Old Man.
Everyone loves that sport with passion. I love cricket because there's an emotion expressed in the field that will appear on the field and off the field also.

So, in my opinion, cricket is so popular in India because Indians can relate to this sport so much and cricket has its own large fanbase.
Our media also promote cricket and have a very strong foundation and huge financial support as compared to other sports but in my point of view every sport has its own pros and cons we should appreciate other sports also.

Yes, I agree with this statement cricket dominates over other sports. India is obsessed with cricket and we can see the public giving more attention and interest to it than compared to any other sports.

In my opinion, Nowadays cricket is a very popular sport in the world. So many people love this game.
Comparing, other sports rather than cricket. Cricket is the most valuable sport. One point I added it these are mentally and physically very comfortable for other sports.

No, because the reason for other sports are not as popular as cricket is that we are not good enough to compete globally in other sports. Cricket being most popular in our country would only help other sports showing the way to success.
Cricket wouldn't be this popular if not for our Indian stars who can compete against the best of worlds and even beat them, but in other sports, we are not good enough to compete and win against the best of the world except hockey which is not popular in any country.

I completely agree on this and the reason being the popularity of cricket in the subcontinent and the major reason for this much of popularity is because of the fact that Kapil Dev and company won us a trophy which was literally impossible. And that gave every Indian a belief that we can compete at the global level.
The fact that India had the chance to play the Fifa World Cup in the 1950s but they couldn't because of the financial conditions at that time also plays a part in the popularity in cricket because if India had participated in fifa, you never know today football might have been the biggest sport in India.

In my point of view, money is playing a major in cricket.
That's why most youngsters are attracted to cricket along with their parents. Eventually, we want a secure life whether we study or sports but nowadays in cricket, money is a lot so cricket is Higher than other sports.

Cricket is an obsession compared to other sports.
This is because, in the younger generation, everyone is drawn towards cricket. I extend my opinion by saying that the Indian Premier League (IPL) has a significant impact on cricket in India rather than international cricket.
Additionally, cricket plays a major role in all sports in India, although it is not of Indian origin. If a ranking were to happen for sports played in India, cricket would be in the top position, followed by football and kabaddi. This implies that cricket has stolen the limelight from other sports.
I conclude my opinion by stating that even though cricket has made its impact in India, every other sport deserves its respect.

CRICKET!
Cricket is famous in India after winning 1983 World cup under Kapil Dev captaincy, after the first T20 World cup introducing IPL made a huge role to attract towards cricket.
Although other sports like football, hockey, and tennis are watched by people when it is compared to cricket it has fewer viewers.
Parents of today's generation are interested in joining their children in cricket academies rather than other sports academies. This is also one of the main causes of the increasing number of cricket fans among other sports.
In my view, give freedom to children to choose their interested sports!
