Hi everyone.
I feel that cricket is overshadowing other sports in India. The encouragement, sponsorship & promotion given to cricket in our country is very high comparing to other nations. We can see cricketers in maximum advertisement, we can rarely see other sport person. Main reason is bcci, bcci is independent organisation and bcci is the richest cricket board in the world. Others sport is undertaken by government and we all know how government works. Media is also responsible for this. In news papers cricket takes more place overshadowing others.

Hello friends Good afternoon everyone well it's really hard to say that cricket has always been the national obsession for our country even if I am a die hard fan of virat kohli but truth is always bitter and hard to digest. The fact is the infrastructure and other amenities like salary accommodation etc given to cricketers are really lucrative and which is not given to other sports persons in our country be it hockey or Kabadi or be it Football. We should give equal respect and facilities to every game and every sportsperson. That's it.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Yes cricket detriment the other sports in India cricket is not treated as a game its treated as a religion, which is good but only upto some extent. Suppose if there is a cricket match between India and some other country then every person is affected by the result of that match but in case of other sports nothing like that is happen who won or lose its doesn't matter for us. This is totally partiality with other sports. Everybody in India knows about Sachin Tendulkar but how many amongst us know Saina Nehwal the great badminton champion.

In my point of view, cricket is widely taking place in India compared to other sports because of facilities and amenities provided by the BCCI. India is one of the countries which has more youths compared to other countries but unfortunately, they have been immersing themselves in the cricket. What I suggest is instead of having too much interest in the cricket they should also support other games equivalently and as a youths, it is our responsibility to give attention to other problems that have been facing in India.
Thank you.

Hello Friends,
I have some views on this topic " Cricket as a national obsession is a detriment to other sports".
I support to topic as publicity of cricket increasing simultaneously it is creating bad impact on other other sports like Hockey our nation game, Volleyball, Kho-Kho and lot of other games, reason is that people sees and hear every where about cricket because our media has been made them more and more popular by live broadcasting on DD national from a decade ago. Human psychology is that what they see they do same.

In my opinion, we CANNOT say whether cricket is superior over other sports or not. Because it depends on one's choice it is not necessary that a cricketer's son will be a cricketer, likewise, it is not compulsory that every person likes cricket. But marginally in India cricket is actually treated more important because it has come at the time of British ruling, cricket gave people sense of freedom and later the other sports emerged gradually. So it is not wrong to say that cricket is a national obsession.

Cricket is probably the second most popular sport in the world after football. With 2.5 billion fans, cricket is one of the most cherished sports among its many fans. Sport is the easiest and probably the best way to manage that energy. Cricket is played in the open air under the open sky of nature. Cricket is a popular sport, it is a ball game. As a result, blood circulation in the body becomes normal. Your post is very important and informative. I hope you will share more articles with us. Thank you.

Indians are obsessed about cricket superstars only. All they care about is. National cricket team. I have never seen full house in a Ranji trophy match. And cricket is popular in 15-16 countries only.
If we compare cricket in India with football in Brazil. Here Brazil is far superior. Because apart from football they also focus on other sports. Like boxing, skate boarding, x games, Motorsports, volleyball, basketball, they have a good reputation in these sports, despite being a footballing countries.
