  Dr. Ramachandra Guha devoted for the development of cricket in India and made the basis of Indian sport social relationship. Now you will learn about the history of cricket in India. First, it was the Parsis who first stepped inside the field, the Hindus and the Muslims also followed and played. By 1912, the Bombay Quadrangular emerged as the first form of competitive cricket in India where the Parsi, Hindu and Muslim teams took on their European counterparts. For British, Indian cricket might be a key to be against British and make themselves for being one team. As a result, the expectaion of British was too optimistic. Indians make groups of cricket for defeating European incliding British. However, first of all, Indian cricket suffer from the discrimination.Only high caste person played. Dr, Guha asked Gandhi to let the low caste people play cricket. In addition, Dr. Guha explained 4 good reasons to play cricket. First, the narrow streets and gallis where every child first experiences the sport, provide a natural setting . Second, cricket is a sport that doesn’t demand much athletic ability. Almost anyone to participate. Third, the periodic intervals during a match have turned its viewership into a semi-social occasion. And finally, cricket can be the international suspension bridge. Nowadays India has the largest cricket population in the world. This is affected from Dr. Guha’s effort.
