5 less followed sports that India is doing well in

#3 Sepak Takraw

Sepak Takraw was first introduced to the Indian sports fans during the 1982 Asian Games held in New Delhi.

The sport has been recognized by the Indian Olympic association and ministry of youth affairs and sports since 2000.

Even though the sport is not commonly followed, it is very interesting to note that India has in fact done well in Sepak Takraw. One such success was during the 22nd King’s Cup, the International Sepak Takraw Tournament held in Bangkok, where the Indian men’s team reached the semi-finals and claimed bronze. The women’s team also won bronze in the same event.

The sport is particularly followed in the northeastern state of Manipur and some of the best players have come from here.

With proper exposure and more promotion to the sport, India can certainly claim more success in Sepak Takraw.
