Cricket is the most popular sport in India and the most played game in India. Cricket's popularity in India is unrivalled compared to the amount of attention it generates in any other country. In terms of football passion, Brazil and Argentina are close, but the sheer number of cricket fans in India tilts the scale eastwards.There are several explanations for cricket's continued appeal. Apart from elite sporting networks broadcasting and promoting cricket matches regularly, India's cricket performance significantly impacts the sport's continued popularity.From the 1983 World Cup until the 2013 Champions Trophy, India has been a constant contender for the highest reward in international cricket.
Though badminton has long been a popular sport among the general population, it has had less success on the international scene.This pattern has shifted as a new generation of Indian players has established themselves and their country on the world scene. After distinguishing herself in numerous competitions, Saina Nehwal won a bronze medal at the London Olympics in 2012, cementing her place in history.PV Sindhu, Nehwal's younger rival, eclipsed Nehwal's feat. In 2016, the latter earned a silver medal at the Rio Olympics.

Football, the most popular sport on the planet, is a mystery in India. Football is predominantly a spectator sport in India, dubbed the "sleeping giant" of the footballing world by former FIFA president Sepp Blatter. While the ISL has a sizable fan base in India, it is the massive following of European club championships that is the source of football's appeal in the country.Currently, India's football team is ranked 105th in the world.

Together, Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi have won a lot of Grand Slam doubles titles.On the other hand, India's reliance on these two legends is already becoming apparent. With Bhupathi retiring a few years ago and Paes getting older with each passing season, the Indian tennis landscape desperately needs experienced players. Somdev Devvarman departed a few months ago, leaving Rohan Bopanna and Sania Mirza as India's only two seasoned pros on the ATP tour.
