Cricket
Background
Many guess basketball or tennis, but cricket is actually number two. Around 2.5 billion fans cheer along, mostly in India, Pakistan and Australia. In Europe the sport is barely known, in South Asia it feels almost like a religion. A big match can bring a whole country to a standstill.
