Cricket as a National Obsession is a Detriment to Other Sports

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.

It is indeed an overstatement that, cricket as a national obsession is a detriment to other sports. Indian Sportsman playing other Sports are also doing well and they are getting accolades from our country men. I really feel my self proud when our tri colours flutters and National Anthem sung, be it be any Sports event or occassion. Sports binds people with each other it never can be a detriment.

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.

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.

In India Indian Cricket Team is recognised as a no.1 Test team in all over the world.In 1983 India got World Cup.In other games India could not have gain this kind of fame.So many corporate company like to invest too much money to organised this game.So in India Cricket become very popular.
But ofcourse for this the players from other game become less interest on their game,which become a a reason that they are defeating in their games.

WEll its a fact that cricket has been overshadowing all other sports exercised in our country. The performance of the Indian cricket team has won many accolades all over the world, so its bound to happen that Indians are prejudiced about this game. But that definitely does not imply that one should go bonkers and disrespect other nationally and internationally celebrated games. Another reason to this is the over stimulated publicity and investments by all the biggies of the country in this sport. Thus, it overshadows the successes in various other fields of sports which has left many a sportsmen disheartened.

The popularity of this particular game can be attributed to the abundant opportunities it offers, while other sports receive comparatively less attention and funding, making them less prominent.

Additionally, cricket has been a sport that our nation has received various accolades and awards in for a considerable period, and this has undeniably played a significant role in contributing to its widespread popularity, in conjunction with the reasons mentioned earlier.

You can not think two different thing at a same time. People in India loves cricket. So they will watch cricket. Thus cricket will be commercialised and leave other sports behind. But if Someone is passionate to other sports there are huge scope for them like olympics and commonwealth games, etc. That's all.

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.

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.
