1 Cricket: No other sport can ever match the popularity of cricket in India. As we say, cricket in India is not a sport but it is a religion.

2 Football: Football is one such sport that is an enigma in India. Although football is not played on an international level, there are hundreds of national teams in India that have thousands of followers.

It also lacks enough sponsors. However, efforts are being made to give football a very important position in India.

3 Kabaddi: Kabaddi is the national sport of India. It has been played in India for years now.

India and Iran are the top 2 nations for Kabaddi. India also won the Kabaddi World Cups in 2017.

Because of their contributions, hundreds of other Indians are also aspiring to become international badminton players. The government is also taking up the initiative to support the badminton players of the country.
