India has the talent. The passion. The resources. But why don’t we dominate world sports?

Why does cricket thrive where other sports struggle? What is holding Indian football back? What’s different about the people who become icons? And can India create a system that gives young athletes a real path to the top?

Mayanti Langer, one of India’s most recognisable sports presenters, takes us behind the scoreboard to examine the systems, psychology and stories shaping Indian sport. She draws on her ringside view of the World Cups, the Olympics and the biggest moments in Indian sport to decode the grind, the grief and the glory behind the game. The making – and unmaking – of a sporting nation.
