India's Cult of Cricket - Did it kill every other sport

Cricket's influence in India goes beyond just a sport. Cricket holds a significant place in Indian culture, having been introduced during the British rule.

From its roots in Indian culture to the evolving nature of the game, we explore the far-reaching impact on emotions, unity, and the media landscape.

The discussion touches upon the BCCI's role in managing cricket's internal challenges and how cricket academies provide structured pathways. However, it also sheds light on the lack of structure and investment in grassroots sports, emphasizing the need for transparent structures, government support, and recognition for sports beyond cricket. Join us for a thought-provoking journey through India's sports dynamics, where cricket's fervour and national spotlight coexist with the potential for other sports to rise and shine.
