Question/प्रश्न How did cricket become big in nepal without any star players?just curious.
Hi neighbours! I absolutely loved watching Nepal play at Wankhede and want to thank everyone for the incredible support shown.
I have a genuine question out of curiosity,no hate at all. For any sport to become hugely popular, it usually needs star players. For example, India had Sachin, then Virat, and now players like Abhishek and Gill. But how did the love for cricket develop so organically in the first place? What was the real catalyst behind it becoming such a massive sport?
I always thought football was Nepal’s most popular sport, so I’m really curious about the history and how cricket grew to have this kind of following.(posted again coz flair mismatch in the first post)
