India is lagging in Sports because of Cricket obsession. Not many people follow any other Sports, hence, no passion, no money in any other Sports in India.
Cricket seldom kills other sports.In fact it helps in developing other sports. BCCI is one of the richest sports body in the word. It utilises its surplus funds in developing other sports in India .Last it had made some valuable contributions to many sports body in India
The most major sport in India is cricket. Other sports include Chess, badminton, field hockey, lawn tennis, futbol, and golf.

CRICKET HAS BECOME A VERY POWERFUL SPORT IN INDIA, SO MUCH THAT NO ONE REMEMBERS ABOUT OUR NATIONAL SPORT - HOCKEY. CRICKET HAS COME A LIMELIGHT AND IS NOW SUPPRESSING THE OTHER SPORTS ATTRACTING SPONSERS AND VIEWERS TO ITSELF.
In India Mostly Cricket and Hockey is given importance but thatas not fair so,they started football again . Still Other Sports Like Basketball,Boxing etc. is not given importance
Cricket. India absolutely loves cricket. They have a successful national team and the IPL (Indian Premier League), an extremely highly funded Twenty20 League with teams competing from all over the country. Kids and adults are seen playing cricket in the streets and fields of India and cricket has the highest ticket selling rate in India compared to all their other sports.
