Cricket is a religion and the players are idols for the people of India. If any of their player losses, some people committed suicide and someone's heartbeat stops so do we have the same enthusiasm for other sports also. Cricket has also a very strong supporting board known as BCCI which is financially very strong and pays a very high amount of money to their players if they losses also.

Well, I personally feel that obsession with cricket is a detriment to other sports. It is all because of the way it is promoted. It is just like in the case of a movie,if a movie is hyped about all of us go to watch it but some epic movie just gets neglected because of poor advertisement and there is less talent in other sports because of improper training because of lack of finances.

I personally feel that though cricket is very entertaining at the same time it is very tedious too. People consider it to be their religion. This damn affects the intensity & popularity of the other games in India.
The thick cloud of intense cricket is overshadowing the future of other games hue overshadowing the development of other games recognized at the national level.

What I feel is that. In India it can be a detriment. As we see. Very less people are watching the common wealth games. Because in India people like cricket more than the national game hockey. If we cannot give respect to the national game. Then you know what would be the symptoms. While in other countries, cricket is a normal game. So I think only in India this is possible.

The people of India likes to play cricket more than hockey. Today in India 90% kids know the names of all Indian team cricketers but no one knows the hockey players. I am not saying that cricket is bad game but it is not that we not take attention in other games like hockey. My request is only that we all should also watch other games and hockey as it is our national game.

Now a days people are dieheart fan for this perticular game. main thing behind its papularisom is that it is available for every one and easy for new people also and it creates a energy within player is not measurable. I love cricket

Yes, Watching too much Cricket is the national obsession, and mostly males are fell into this. They waste a lot of time in watching sports like cricket. They prefer to see matches on their Daily necessary tasks. They left to do work. Students do not go to school, and they do not learn their lesson and atlast, they fail. This is a greet loss for our country's development.

Hello everyone.
My name is Jitendra.
I want to summarise given topic to us is "cricket in sports".
All we know is that over national sport is football but it's not popular as cricket.
Cricket is an international obsession for us.
Because it has almost 2.5 billion followers.
In India, cricket was famous after the 1983 world cup.
And BCCI plays, a vital role in cricket.

I think that playing cricket should be banned, and try develope our country in its own national game which is hockey. Media and government play a very important role in popularising sports, and cricket have established such an international fame that it is just an wrong impact on people believing cricket as the best and other sports to be just wastage of time.

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.
