by Cricket has been one of the highest played and followed games in the entire world. The first most followed game is football and cricket is second. The fan base for cricket in India is high as 13.63 crores. Those numbers speak for themselves. The fan base of cricket in the rest of the world is as high as 2.5 billion.
This sport can be played by everyone who wishes to play it. This is unlike the olden days when this game was only meant for rich gentlemen with etiquette and manners. That is a lot of boundaries and restrictions for one game. Now things are not even close. People from all walks of life and ages can freely play this game wherever they want.
You can always see kids and teenagers gathering on streets or colonies and playing cricket together. People play this sport at picnics, and the parents of the kids often join them too. There are no boundaries as to who can play this sport and who can’t.
Moreover, the bigger reason why there are so many fans of cricket in India is that the Indian Cricket Team has been representing the country so well in international tournaments and matches. India’s debut in the ODI match was way back in 1974. If we look at the number of matches played by the Indian Cricket Team since 2019, they have played a whopping 533 matches.
There are many reasons why cricket is a comfort sport for us Indians. It can be either because we see our parents and grandparents talk about this game ever since we are kids, or it starts to mean something to us. Other than that, this game is very simple and can be played anywhere. All you need is a bat, a ball, and a wicket, and you should be good to go.
Where you are is the least of your concerns. Thousands of people place bets on cricket matches every day to make the game more interesting and fun for them or to make money from the matches. This game is full of thrill and adrenaline rushes. It can be easy to get completely invested in this game in no time.
It can also be thrilling because the game can change in no time. One moment your favorite is doing their best, and the opposing team can defeat them out of nowhere.
