We should support Indian sportspersons.

Indians play many sports, like cricket, football, hockey, chess, wrestling, etc. But cricket manages to get the most attention.

We must also support athletes across all sports, not just cricket. Every athlete deserves recognition and support for their efforts and achievements.

So, let us support all of our athletes as they represent our country and celebrate their achievements!
