Why india loves cricket more than other sports

REASONS BEHIND THE SUCCESS OF INDIAN TEAM

The most lovable sports are always cricket, football, hockey. For India, cricket lovers are more than all other sports. Cricket was introduced to India by the British sailors in the 18th century, and the first cricket club was established in 1792. Our Indian team's first test match was at Lord's in 1932.

India had to wait until 1952 to win their first-ever win in the cricket match. At the beginning of the cricket matches played by our Indian team was very pathetic. India won only 35 test matches. They have played overall 196 matches with new and energetic players like Sunil Gavaskar, Viswanath, and Kapil Dev. Then India had improved their overall strategy and become stronger like other teams. Our Indian team showed their power in limited over cricket matches. After that, our Indian team won test matches in Australia, England, and South Africa. Our Indian team lifts the first world cup in 1983 under the captaincy of Kapil Dev.

This winning gave our Indian team more confidence in their playing. By playing the other successful matches, India lifted another world cup under MAHENDRA SINGH DHONI's captaincy in 2011.

After the great achievement, India becomes the third team after west indies and Australia to have won the world cup more than once and the first cricket team to win the world cup at home. The captain cool MS Dhoni won the 2007 ICC world T20 and 2013 ICC champions trophy under MS Dhoni's captaincy. 

As of May 2020, India is ranked third in test matches, second in ODI, and third in T20. Indian team gave a lot of excellent players like Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Mohammed Kaif, Harbajan Singh, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, Zaheer Khan, Jasprit Bumrah, MS Dhoni, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, Anil Kumble, Sunil Gavaskar, Sourav Ganguly, Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, Mohammed Azharuddin, Vijay Hazare, etc.

The current players playing for India are Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, K L Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Yuzvendra Chahal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Dinesh Karthik, T Natarajan. Our Indian players achieved many unique records. K L Rahul becomes the first player in cricket history to score a hundred in his maiden inning as an opening batsman in Test and one-day matches. Virender Sehwag is the only player in cricket history to have scored a triple century in Test and a double hundred in ODI. Sachin Tendulkar is the only player in the history of test cricket to play 200 games. Virat Kohli holds the world record for being the fastest batsman to score 12000 runs in one-day international matches. Always the god of cricket is Sachin Tendulkar. India will more powerful in the upcoming matches which they are going to play. No one can pull down team INDIA.
