SnG: Why Are Non-Cricket Sports In Our Country So Neglected? feat. Gaurav Kapur | S2 Ep 13 Part 1 

Siddhant Shah I honestly could not agree with you more

Siddhant Shah seriously. I mean Varun is funny as hell, but these guys probably did the best SNG podcast of the last ten.

Pravesh Dhavale bilkul theek baat

Bunty Sonawane ODI is my Fav. And Still the most loved thing in cricket is 50 over world cup

Grant Veerasamy lol

the only thing more sad than Kautuk is the Team Kautuk

His name is shiva keshavan and he belongs to manali

Bullshit. Ask the name of rugby captain of India.

also, wrestling is something we are good at, so that whole argument falls apart.

Sai Krishna you’re kind of right with your point and yeah Kohli is pretty fit but he isn’t the fittest cricketer.

It is an extremely valid argument and the success of an athlete depends heavily on the sport as well. When the average height of Indians is below 5ft 10 inches, it is a rarity to find tall enough people with enough athletic ability to compete with the best basketball players in the world. We don't see a lot of successful footballers because most of our country doesn't have enough protein in their diet to reach that level of athleticism. It isn't directly about genetics but it is years of accumulation of traits and high levels of malnutrition that cause this. I don't mean to offend you but Virat Kohli might be extremely fit to play cricket but he won't be able to handle basketball or football. Those sports are much more physically demanding in terms of explosive strength and stamina as compared to cricket where the game goes on for hours at a relatively slower pace.

Anshul Jain what you are hinting at is the nature vs nurture debate. The average height of indian male is 5feet 5 inches compared to 5'10" for an American. But that is immaterial. Champions are not average. With just the amount of people we have don't you think that if given a chance people with natural athletic attributes will surface? Great khali was a stone breaker before he was discovered. I will concede that cricket is not as physical a sport as basketball but you can see Indians excelling at a sport like badminton. If diet and training are taken care of, there is no reason why we can't have champions. And that disproves the hypothesis that we are not genetically suited for sport.

Sai Krishna agree with you bro
