Prudence, Providence
  • Cricket decisively became the premier sport in India
  • Indian money poured into cricket. One-Day Internationals became popular, attracting huge sponsorship.
  • The subcontinent, over the years, became the centre of world cricket
  • There was a TV boom, which over the years has taken player salaries and endorsement monies to stratospheric heights
  • The World Cup was hosted in the subcontinent in 1987, and again in 1996
