Indian people started watching more cricket after India won the world cup in 1983, it was such an elitist sport to follow. The sport gained attention because of the victory, we Indians basically are shrewd with our mindsets we except short term returns because of our lifestyle.
Indian people won't watch football except FIFA World Cup and then come up asking why India isn't Playing the World Cup even with a huge population, while other small countries have qualified
I hate these seasonal fans
