Answer 2

East India Company effectively ruled India from 1757, after which the country came under the British Crown in 1858. The Crown rule ended on 15th August, 1947.

During the 18th century, the game of Cricket was restricted to the British soldiers and servicemen, including bureaucrats. Colour prejudice was also a factor which came in the way for spread of the game among the local populace.

Only after the Indian Princes and Nawabs were allowed to take part in the game, did Indians like Ranjitsinhji and Duleepsinhji shine on the cricketing firmament. Later, of course, Nawab Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi, or Nawab of Pataudi Senior appeared on the cricketing stage.

Only after teams from religious or ethnic groups like the Parsis, Muslims and Hindus began playing among themselves and started a quadrangular tournament in Mumbai did interest in Cricket began to spread.
