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.

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.

Hii friends, in my view all sports are same there is no any difference between cricket and other sports and just the people who are thinking that is different. I feel that that every game has there own identity and importance.
So don't hesitate other sports by comparing with cricket. For example take our family members we are giving importance for every person in our home or surroundings like that we want to give importance for other sports also not only for cricket.

Every sports person seeks Opportunities, facilities and recognition. And it is evident that Cricket has more opportunities and training facilities as compared to other sports in India that's why also people turn to this sport.
We need to bring forward other sports also Because only Cricket won't bring Gold in Olympics. Commonwealth and Asian games. !
Better training facilities, opportunities and appreciation for other sports and sportsperson is the need of the day.

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.

Hi everyone,
I feel that its a bit of overstatement that, cricket as a national obsession is a detriment to other sports.
We support many other games like tennis, badminton, shooting, etc. These games also have their own sheen and fame. We have sports stars like Sania Mirza, Saina Nehwal, Bopppana, Mahesh Bhupati, Leander Paes, Rajwardhan Singh Rathore, Abhinav Bindra other than our cricketers.
So many sports are also popular in India other than cricket also.

Have to agree to Khilar. Cricket is killing other games. How many athletes, tennis players, boxers or footballers do we all know. Just a handful isn't it. Now ask anyone on the road for india's cricket team ODI squad contingents. Give it a shot. One Sania Nehwal or one Dhanraj Pillai does not change the sorry state of other sports in India.
Look at football for instance, having a population of over 100 crores cant we produce a squad for the football world cup.

Hey everyone,
I don't at all think that cricket is a detriment to other sports it is the Indian people's supportive spirit of cricket that is destructing other sports. Most people do not even know that India has teams in Hockey, Rugby, Soccer, Basketball, etc. Its feels ashamed extremely to know that India a huge nation does not support their athletes.
I hope that India recognizes their athletes of all sports and supports them in their respective sports.

I totally in favour of this topic. In my point of view India is consistent in the cricketing world as one of the formidable opponents ever since India started taking part in the sport. The 1983 world cup win changed the history of cricket in India and unlike other sports, the different formats -Test, ODIS, T20, have been able to pull audience to the game. But in other sports like football, hockey we have never yet achieved these kinds of popularity.
