In early India, sports were very much concerned about the development of the physique and for the art of offense and defence. Along with recreation, sports played a vital role in the development of a man's personality. Now, popular sports in India include Cricket, Soccer, Field Hockey, Tennis, Chess, Boxing, Gymnastic, sailing, Squash, Wolley Ball, Billiards and snooker, Polo, Kabaddi, formula one, and Rifle shooting. Though field hockey is the national sport of India, Cricket is the most popular sport in the country.
By far, Cricket is India's most popular sport these days. It has contributed many players to the game such as Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulakar, Sourav Ganguli, Rahul Dravid, Mahinder Singh Dhoni, etc. the administrative body of Indian Cricket is run by BCCI (Board of Cricket Control in India). There are two main domestic tournaments in India i.e., the Ranji Trophy and the Duleep Trophy. However, recently, Twenty20 leagues have been started up i.e., the Indian Premier League and the Indian Cricket League, by India.
