Is Cricket Getting Too Much Attention in India?
Cricket dominates Indian sports broadcasting, sponsorships, advertising and social media conversations. Its enormous popularity attracts significant investment, but other sports and athletes can struggle for comparable visibility and funding. Should India continue allowing market demand to determine attention, or should more resources be deliberately directed toward other sports?
