5 sports which could challenge Cricket in India
5) Tennis
Tennis enjoys a considerable following in India, although it is limited to urban areas. The last two decades have witnessed unprecedented success for Indians in Grand Slams.
The likes of Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes have won multiple Grand Slam titles in doubles. Sania Mirza has started emulating their success. In fact, she is the number one ranked women’s doubles player in the world.
Just like the most of the other sports mentioned, tennis too has come up with its own professional league: the International Premier Tennis League (IPTL). It is an annual team tennis league competed by 6 franchisee teams.
In spite of the high costs involved, tennis has a cult following in the country. If the sport receives proper investment, there is no reason why India cannot continue to produce world beaters.
