Most fascinating is the fact that India has always been a single-sport nation with all the excitement, talent, support, sponsorships, and media attention etc, reserved for the game of cricket. The hosting of CWG 2010 has made it possible to expose the Indians to non-cricket sport events and encourage the country for the same.
