There are lot sports played in India like cricket, Football,Hockey,Tennis, Boxing.These days cricket is getting a lot of recongnization and a getting a lot of money if they win major tournamnets like world cup. The others sports like tennis,hockey is not been watched and been noticed by the respective assocation of the sports and they do not know what they have won and they are been treated like they have no value for them.
