Its players like Sachin, Gavaskar and Ganguly and Dravid who created interest in the mind of Indians. Indian team is not performing such well in any other sports.

Really Cricket and Weight-lifting are the only two sports in which India really seems to excel (near the top in the world). Yes you’re good at hockey but only amongst the top few.
Every country needs an outlet like that. It’s just Australia has so much in the way of sporting success (cricket, league, union, swimming, athletics, shooting, netball, hockey, soccer … the list is endless) and sports infrastructure and so many other things to do in Summer, that cricket is only “of interest”. We love it but it doesn’t rule our lives.

It is easy and interesting for children to take to cricket.
1.You need just one used tennis ball to play street cricket.Bat stumps etc can be easily made out of wooden pieces.
2.The cricket scoring pattern makes it vibrant.every ball can be hit for a run or fetch a wicket.Football produces rarely a goal.
(edit)But please note they also started to excel in other sports.
1.Viswanathan Anand is the current Chess World Champion.
2.Mahesh Boopathy and Sania Mirza were runners up in Aussie open Tennis mixed doubles.
We have good teams in Hockey,Volley ball
Weight lifting,wresling,Car racing,Shooting,archery,Athletics are some of the fields they are being noticed at world level.

Our goverment has never promoted any other sport as much, what with running commentries being broadcast on national radio right from the start. Is sidelined every other game. As a result we probably dont know any other game as well to keep us interested tho I personally like football and hockey very much.

Why are Brazillians so crazy about football? Senseless question really. Why shouldn’t Indians be crazy about cricket? Why should Brazil be glamourized for its love of football and India be thought mad because it loves cricket? Makes no sense, does it? They love soccer, we love cricket; just as you love soccer and I love cricket. Simply a matter of choice, no more to it. Unfortunate that you weren’t born in Brazil!
Cricket rules!

Ya we crazy about just as much as Brazilians are about Football. Both these games were invented by the English. Football was played by other many other cultures all over the world but the modern derivative is from England.
Anyway us Indians have a natural flare for Cricket and it is a great game.
