    Cricket has long been considered an integral part of Indian culture, but it may have overshadowed other sports. While the Indian cricket team receives immense fame and media attention, other successful teams like the women's kabaddi team must find their own transportation. However, recent individual successes in sports like wrestling, shooting, and badminton are helping other athletes gain recognition too. Though cricket remains highly popular, other sports are improving and may see greater success and support in the future.

    Cricket is an all-pervading element in the Indian subcontinent.

      Without
    mentioning cricket, the story of India would be incomplete. It is not just a sport in
    India, but a part of our culture and tradition. But, the question often arises, has it
    overshadowed other sports and sportspersons? Is cricket an overrated sport in
    India?

    Very recently, Sunil Chhetri, the captain of the Indian football team had to
    request Indians to come to watch their match against Kenya. Apparently, the stands
    weren’t getting the audience they had expected. Indian Women Kabaddi team, which
    won the Worlld Cup had to go back to their homes in autorickshaws from the airport. 
    While the Indian Cricket team members are treated no less than Bollywood
    celebrities.

    This brings us to the answer to our previously stated question. Yes, Cricket IS
    an overrated sport in India. The reasons for this are multiple and need to be looked
    at differently. The factors are discussed below:

     Management: BCCI is a key factor in creating such a persona of cricket in


    our country. They have invested heavily to promote the game to its current standards
    of popularity.
     Public: The public outlook of cricket is also very positive. A very general
    example of this would be how sportspersons in India are encouraged to take up
    cricket instead of the sport of their choice. Cricket has much better job prospects in
    India as compared to any sport. IPL and World-Cup seasons in India are treated as
    festivals.
     Media: Indian media has also been obsessed with the game. News channels
    and Newspapers allot more coverage to cricket than any other sport. Due to better
    viewership and fanbase of cricket, the media tends to focus more on them.

    But, things seem to be improving for other sports recently. With Indian athletes
    and sportspersons achieving great feats in international tournaments, several
    obscure sports have come into the Limelight. Mary Kom, who won a Bronze in
    Olympics 2012 and several World Championships, has become an inspiration for the
    youth of India. Saina Nehwal and PV Sindhu are paving the way for badminton
    players of the country.  Sushil Kumar, Yogeshwar Dutt, and Bajrang Punia have
    brought new energy to Indian wrestling. Bhaichung Bhutia and Sunil Chhetri have
    worked tirelessly, sacrificing even their international careers just to improve Indian
    football. Abhinav Bindra, Gagan Narang, and Jitu Rai have contributed tremendously
    to shooting.

    Conclusion :-

    In light of the information above, it can be deduced that: yes, cricket is an


    overrated sport in India, but things seem to have taken a turn for the better. Other
    sports have been taking significant strides towards greatness and soon India will
    witness the results of their hard work.
