#3 Football

Football (or soccer) was introduced in India during the British occupation, which can hardly be surprising since Great Britain is the home of soccer. 

The sport gained popularity with the foundation of the All India Football Federation (AIFF), the governing body for football in India. Football is nowhere near as popular as cricket in India, for instance, many Indians love and follow the sport and are interesting in football betting as well.
