A kind of insane enjoyment of cricket by watching, playing, or debating amongst the people.

Cricket is the most popular sport in India, and no other sport has ever dethroned it. The following factors may contribute to India's cricket craze:

• The first and most important reason for cricket's popularity in India is because India is one of the best cricketing nations in the world. Another reason for its popularity is that it has won numerous international events, the first of which was the World Cup in 1983.

• The second topic is cricket history. The British introduced cricket to India. Western Indians were the first to take up cricket, and the game grew in popularity over time. After independence, the British went, but the game of cricket remained with the Indians.

• The third benefit is that cricket is easily accessible, and a handful of players may play it in the street or even in a room. The equipment required is also minimal, with only a bat and a ball required to play the game.

• The next advantage is that there are more coaching centres and academies in India than in other sports. This is due to an increase in the number of young people participating in India. Similarly, the number of stadiums for cricket is greater than for other sports like as football and hockey.

• The cricket regulating body (BCCI) is more efficient than other governing bodies such as AIFF, HI, and so on. When compared to other governing bodies, the BCCI is more successful and financially robust. This also contributed to cricket becoming India's most popular sport.

• Money has also played a significant influence in cricket becoming India's most popular sport. As a result, when a person decides to pursue a profession in sports, he or she will naturally gravitate towards cricket, owing to the fact that cricket pays more, and money, after all, is everything!

• Fortunately, the introduction of the IPL has improved the popularity of cricket. It's a treat to see because all of the world's best players are under one roof! Though there are analogous competitions in other sports, such as ISL, IHL, and IBL, they cannot compete with IPL's popularity in India.

‌For Indians, cricket has always been more than just a game. It is many people's heart and soul in our country. When there is a major cricket match, such as between India and Pakistan, everyone stops what they are doing and concentrates on the game. 

Even if we had no interest in cricket, we all watched these matches because of the anticipation. Nothing brings India closer together than this game.
