T20:

-Superior marketing.

-Externalities (music, dancing, celebrities)

-Comparable length to a movie

-Busy

-Does not require any intellect to enjoy (ie can be watched passively, like a banal movie).

-Luck is an important factor

-Even a team of lesser ability has a chance of causing an upset

ODI:

-Potential for unexpected change of fortunes

-A good day out (depending on the ground)

-The World Cup.

Test:

-Unpredictable (well except for mismatches)

-The Draw

-Ebb and flow

-Conducive to epic stories

-Combative

-Requires mental stamina and intelligence

-Requires physical stamina

-The strategic nature of the game requires active engagement from the viewer (like reading a good book, as opposed to watching a banal movie).

-History

-Luck will never win you the game. If you win, you deserved to win.

-Artistic like ballet, powerful like baseball, strategic like chess, geeky like maths, physical like a marathon and aggressive like a parliamentary debate.

In general:

-Playing conditions are not uniform, and can change during the course of a game

-Players are responsible for tactics (less so in T20s, more so in tests), not some bloke on the sidelines in a suit.

-A myriad of smaller contests within the larger game

-Near infinite possibilities for statistics gurus.

-Lots of things to gamble on (for those into gambling)

-Multiple skill-sets.

Answer 7

Cricket is popular because of the things that could change the game in a heartbeat, a vital wicket or a six on the last ball of the match, u just don't know what will happen next.

Answer 8

Cricket has gained popularity with wins. It is not a rough game like football and soccer or even hockey. Chances of injury in less. So many find it easier to play and learn the game too.

It is played against teams of countries barring IPL. That makes it interesting. It is like winning a war against another Nation.

Besides, it has a lot of variety within the game. All this makes cricket interesting. The more people watch, the more you see the players on ads.

All these make cricket interesting and popular.
