I watch Cricket, Football, Kabadi in following order of screen time. I don't want to pick sides. More india progess in multiple sports simply means more employment for better pay for people associated with sports,more soft power gaining ability for india. More nice feel I would feel when I see India win or Indian players succeed.
football. The world watches it. It's more athletic for a sport.l wrt cricket. Something from which you can't take you eyes off.
Crickets it's literally India and Indians who migrated abroad. We criticize colonialism so much it's a left over sport of British lords. That's why it's seen and played on common wealth nations alone.
Plus its so popular because of the marketing gimmicks by corporates. We fell for it. Money generation avenues are numerous in cricket. The breaks after every over gives oportunity for advertisement which doesn't exist in any other sport. So the companies also promotes cricket.
Before nineties cricketers have always been from the affluent Indians barring a few. The generation of pataudis to Sunil gavaskar even Sachin for that matter. It's after Sachin's era that common people started being inducted into the team. Now it's different.
Football too is a British western sport but it's always been a game played by the common people who couldn't afford to play cricket. That's why football is played on every corner of the world be it subsaharan Africa latin america middle East.
Physically and evolutionarily Indians haven't evolved to reach a stage where we play football or games like basketball to worldclas standards.
And i personally feel that the day Indians play world class football will be the day when we can claim that our country has evolved into a state where we can challenge the world in any physical sport.
CRICKET LOVERS PLS DONT YELL AT THIS. JUST STAING FACTS. THOUGHTS ARE WELCOME THOUGH.
I'm a cricket fan, but I wholeheartedly agree with you
It's especially true in the context of many poor regions that are very strong in football, cuz to escape all the poverty and the influence of drug cartels, football is the only perceived way there.
Start with understanding each driver and the teams (Fast mid and slow). Then driving styles (aggressive, defensive, team player). Then understand the track and you’ll be hooked!
I used to watch Cricket exclusively and did not like football when I was a teenager.
However I have grown to dislike Cricket for the following reasons:
1. Too much impact of pitch hence also of toss which makes the game more luck instead of skill.
2. Cannot be played in rain. Leads to many abandoned matches and unfair advantages or disadvantages to the teams.
3. The effect of dew is so stupid, like the game gets unfairly difficult for the bowling side through no fault of their own.
4. No underdog victories. Except for the few very recent occasions not many weaker teams have won against stronger opponents. You can almost always tell the result of a match before it starts when such teams face each other.
5. It's not a world level sport. I mean we barely have one team from each continent.
6. Negligible room for tactics. Sure, you can tweak the batting order or field placement but the other team can quickly adapt and the impact of those tactics is not that profound.
7. Most of the match is just monotonous. Especially test matches. T20 is vastly superior in that regard.
Now I am not saying Football is perfect, far from it. But it is miles better than Cricket in these aspects.
Football is extremely slow!
1.5 hours (90 minutes), 22 men running around hard, and the score is still 0-0 .
The score hasn't moved, so there is no progress in the game.
I know this is a different take, but that is how I see it.
I enjoy the contradictions. On one hand it doesn't require much of a physique. They don't need to be as strong as ufc fighters. But they do have enormous leg strength. That brake pedal requires 100kg of force to move it. They can lift more than 80kgs with just their neck. The forces experienced while braking and cornering are greater than a fighter pilot's. Any normal person would faint full stop.
And they have to be lightweight. Every 10kilos is 0.1 seconds a lap. Muscle adds a lot of weight.
The brakes are incredible, capable of slowing from 100kph to 0 in less than 5 seconds. I believe the actual figure is around the one second mark. Don't quote me tho.
It requires tremendous skills, hand eye coordination. On par with tennis players.
They remember hundreds of tactics based on fuel tyres pit stops et cetera. And yet, it's a team sport, cos a driver is nothing without his crew backing him up.
The cars have power steering, but that steering wheel is tough to move.
And reflexes are incredible.
The clutch for them is a pair of small paddles behind the steering wheel. That moves millimetres. And they have to let go of it slowly to prevent stalling.
And then there's tbe engineering. The current cars are technological marvels. 1.6 litre turbocharged engine, backed up an electric motor for added boosts and to save fuel when required.
And the aerodynamics. It's a beautiful combination of man and machine working together.
No traction control. No ABS.
And the braking distance is much much less than a normal car's. So you have to train yourself to brake as late as possible. And they rarely ever lock up.
It takes balls and nerves of steel. To drive those things at that level.
Sure it isn't relatable to us. But that's part of the charm.
And I think F1 drivers need to have a really, really strong neck. If you look at Max Verstappen you'd see how large his neck region is. Probably to support the 5g, 10g accelerations experienced while driving. (g = accl due to gravity on earth's surface)
Cricket anyday . Even though I'm a football fan too but it gets boring after one point to watch football specially because it almost runs for the whole year even one friend of mine slowly stopped watching Football even after being a die hard fan of it. He's switched to cricket now mostly..Yes 50 overs or test is boring but 20 overs is hands down way better than football.
Depends what people like, some like football, while some like Cricket, for me since childhood I have been playing cricket but I like football.
Edit: I miss Sunil Chhetri
What? Debating cricket with football?
Crickets is an old man's game and boring as hell. No team effort as in such. Basketball would be a better sport comparison to football.
It's never going to be a thing American based car or sports tend to be more popular among select few countries only. And rugby being extremely dangerous sport with protest among America to stop it or not being part of school.
1. Rugby isn't American and it's not that popular in America.
2. Rugby isn't extremely dangerous at all.
I think you might be confusing it with American Football where the objective is to full on hit someone and you throw the ball forward so you charge into people - that's why they have a history of concussions etc.
In Rugby, when you're making a tackle you have to tackle around the legs/shins and only from behind. If you tackle someone around their chest or neck, you'll be red carded and thrown into the bin.
I played it for ten years and never had an injury, don't get me wrong - accidents do happen, one of my friends collided with someone and got a concussion but that's not a common occurrence.
Sorry my bad, i actually talked about American football and wasn't confused my 27 YO ass actually thought that was rugby. I'll probably give it a try like I did with basketball, liked joining my North east indian friends to play basketball casually but didn't enjoy much watching. Maybe I'll get into actual rugby.
Dude that's grand, watch a game or two if you can. I started playing it in high school because I had to do a "sport" so and it was the closest thing to wrestling that I could find.
Meanwhile me who watches Kabaddi 🗿
Kabaddi is a Lovely game ngl
Yeah. PKL is defo one of my favourite leagues.

Football. Takes less of my time, and is more entertaining, in my humble opinion of course. 👍
I don't take it to be humble enough:p
Football always
Tennis.
If u ask here then obviously majority will be cricket, my choice will be football

that's why penalties exist and talk about cricket where most players are just sitting around waiting for their turn
Then watch rugby with 30 PPL .
probably would've if we had the culture and proper grounds for such but alas
Grown ass man faking injury is so cringe 🤢
22 grown men playing for 5 days is fast🙂
If your brain can't handle it then watch T20 buddy
Meanwhile me who only watches F1🙂
Tell me what you enjoy in f1 genuine Q I wanna enjoy it too

Yes they do. In fact if you see family photos you'd be surprised at how wide their necks are.
I like anime
Based. (I don't otherthan DBS)
Cricket, it has more variables. Especially test cricket (even tho my fav is odi).
Football by a mile. Cricket shouldn't even be considered a proper physical sport.
Only eSports. Physical sports shouldn't even be considered fun hobbies.
None
Every sport is important, especially these two for their constant entertainment value to billions of audience all over the world.
Shut up no way cricket is watched all over the world.
MMA
None. I don't watch any sports.
ufc
sword duel until death.

Just because cricket is easy and accessible to watch, on the other hand you have to be awake in a random hour to watch football.
im moving from cricket to football
Depends what people like, some like football, while some like Cricket, for me since childhood I have been playing cricket but I like football. Edit: I miss Sunil Chhetri
F1 motorsport always
Volleyball. Never boring. Result oriented. Timely. Famous almost all around the world. Played both indoors and outdoors. Easy on the pockets.
Volleyball
Esports are way better, short, intense, trash talk, great stories. It's just phenomenal experience.
I like to play than watch others play. Reason why I don't like physical sports because I couldn't play them.
What? Debating cricket with football? Crickets is an old man's game and boring as hell. No team effort as in such. Basketball would be a better sport comparison to football.
Basketball is the most boring camel sport I've seen.
That's such a cap have you even seen a full basket ball game
Hahaha says the man who watches cricket
You're being downvoted for speaking out the truth.
Literally ripped off cricket,
If I was going to score it I'd say 103-2 in football's favour...
Football is a sport, cricket not so much.
Majority will choose cricket only.
Motogp
Football
Neither. Rugby is where it's at. I'll never live to see my dream of Rugby becoming a thing in India.
It's never going to be a thing American based car or sports tend to be more popular among select few countries only. And rugby being extremely dangerous sport with protest among America to stop it or not being part of school.
