Make Cricket India's National game.

If one were to go by popularity then Cricket is the most popular game in India. If one were to go by results, the Indian cricket team has brought more laurels. If one were to go by financial might and its off-shoot power, then Indian cricket rules the roost.

Do you believe Cricket should be India's national game?
