The modern game of [[badminton]] developed from an English children's game known as [[battledore and shuttlecock]], a game that was most prominent in ancient India. The battledore was a paddle and the shuttlecock was a small feathered cork, colloquially called a ''bird''.<ref>{{cite EB1911|wstitle= Battledore and Shuttlecock | volume= 03 | page = 534}}</ref>

India has a rich heritage of [[martial arts]]. In the [[Epic poetry|epics]] [[Mahabharata]] and [[Ramayana]], [[Bhima]] and [[Hanuman]] were the greatest ''[[Gada (mace)|Gadadhari]]'' ({{Translation|One who fights with Gada (the Mace weapon)}}) and were skilled in wrestling. Lord [[Krishna]]'s brother [[Balarama]] was a great ''Gadadhari.'' During the era of the Mahabharata, [[Pandava]] prince [[Arjuna|Arjun]] and [[Ekalavya]] were expert archers. ''[[Kalaripayattu]]'' is practised by some as a traditional martial art in South India.

The Mahabharata is a tale of warring cousins, composed over several years. It was believed that this book contained all aspects of Indian life, and whatever was said which was not in the book was not true. Going back to the history of sports, martial arts was one of the earliest sport used for military purposes. This too was limited to only the warrior caste, the [[Kshatriya]]. In ancient Greece, the patriarchy was very strict, and likewise ancient India restricted their sports to only men.<ref name=":10">{{Cite book |last=Sen |first=Ronojoy |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.7312/columbia/9780231164900.001.0001 |title=Nation at Play |date=2015-10-06 |publisher=Columbia University Press |doi=10.7312/columbia/9780231164900.001.0001 |isbn=978-0-231-16490-0}}</ref>

In the early days, the British began clubs, which only whites could join. These clubs were a place where men could gather together to drink, socialize, and play sports. British soldiers would play British sports as a way of maintaining fitness, since the mortality rate for foreigners in India was high at the time, as well as to maintain a sense of Britishness; in the words of an anonymous writer, playing British sports was a way for the British to "defend themselves from the magic of the land". The different games played in the clubs would be cricket, badminton, [[Rugby football|rugby]], [[golf]], and [[rowing]].<ref name=":10" />

=== Field hockey ===
{{Main|Field hockey in India}}

[[Field hockey]], until the mid-1970s, was dominated by the [[India men's national field hockey team]], winning Olympic gold medals and the [[1975 Men's Hockey World Cup]]. Field hockey declined within the country due to changing rules, the introduction of [[artificial turf]], and internal politics in Indian field hockey bodies. In 2008, the men's team failed to qualify for the [[2008 Olympics]] and finished last in the [[2012 Olympics]].

However, the men's team were second place at the [[Hockey at the 2014 Commonwealth Games – Men's tournament|2014 Commonwealth Games]] and won gold in [[field hockey at the 2014 Asian Games]]. Losing at the quarter final stage of the [[Field hockey at the 2016 Summer Olympics|2016 Rio Olympics]] following a loss to [[Belgium men's national field hockey team|Belgium]], India would win the [[2017 Men's Hockey Asia Cup]]. India, at the [[2020 Summer Olympics|2020 games in Tokyo]], won a bronze medal. Currently,{{Outdated inline|date=September 2023|reason="currently" when?}} the Indian men's team is fifth in [[FIH World Rankings|the rankings]] of the Fédération Internationale de Hockey sur Gazon (FIH, English: [[International Hockey Federation]]), the international governing body of indoor and outdoor field hockey.<ref name="Hero FIH Rankings Outdoor">{{cite web|url=http://www.fih.ch/rankings/outdoor/|title=Hero FIH Rankings Outdoor|website=fih.ch|access-date=23 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180724032150/http://www.fih.ch/rankings/outdoor/|archive-date=24 July 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>

The [[India women's national field hockey team|women's national field hockey team]] first participated at the Summer Olympics in [[Field hockey at the 1980 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament|1980]], achieving fourth place. At the [[Field hockey at the 1982 Asian Games|1982 Asian Games for field hockey]], the team won gold. In the [[Field hockey at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament|2016 Summer Olympics]], the Indian women's team qualified for the Summer Olympics and they went on to win the [[2017 Women's Hockey Asia Cup]]. However, the India Women's team did not win any medals in the [[Women's Hockey World Cup]]. The present team is ranked [[FIH World Rankings|tenth place]] by the [[Fédération Internationale de Hockey]].<ref name="Hero FIH Rankings Outdoor"/> India has hosted three Men's Hockey World Cups—the first in [[1982 Men's Hockey World Cup|1982]] in [[Mumbai]], second in [[2010 Men's Field hockey World Cup|2010]] in Delhi—where the country finished fifth and eighth place respectively—and the third in Bhubaneswar in [[2018 Men's Hockey World Cup|2018]]. India also hosted the annual [[Hockey Champions Trophy]] in 1996, 2005, 2014, and 2016.

Until 2008, the [[Indian Hockey Federation]] (IHF) was the apex body for hockey in the country. However, after corruption and other scandals in the IHF, the federation was dissolved, and a new apex body for Indian hockey called [[Hockey India]] (HI) was formed on 20 May 2009, with support from the [[Indian Olympic Association]] (IOA) and former hockey players. HI, recognised by the [[International Hockey Federation]] (FIH), has the sole mandate to govern and conduct all activities for both [[India men's national field hockey team|men's]] and [[India women's national Field hockey team|women's field hockey]] in India. Although the IHF was reinstated in 2010,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.breakingnewsonline.net/sports/2154-kps-gill-and-ihf-reinstated-by-delhi-high-court.html |title=KPS Gill and IHF reinstated by Delhi High Court |publisher=Breakingnewsonline.net |date=22 May 2010 |access-date=1 March 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130509174210/http://www.breakingnewsonline.net/sports/2154-kps-gill-and-ihf-reinstated-by-delhi-high-court.html |archive-date=9 May 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref> it is not recognised by the FIH. The IHF conducts a franchise-based tournament called [[World Series Hockey]] (WSH), with its first season conducted in [[2012 World Series Hockey|2012]]. However, it is not approved by the HI or the FIH.

HI also conducts a franchise-based tournament called the [[Hockey India League]] (HIL). Its first season was held in [[2013 Hockey India League|2013]]. It is recognised by the FIH, which has also decided to provide a 30-day window for the forthcoming seasons so all top players can participate.

[[File:India football Sayed Rahim Nabi.jpg|thumb|Sayed Rahim Nabi of [[East Bengal FC]] and Daniel of [[Chirag United Sports Club|Chirag United SC]] during I-League at [[Salt Lake Stadium]].]]

[[Association football|Football]] was introduced to India during the British colonial period. The [[All India Football Federation]] (AIFF) is the national governing body for football in India. It is affiliated with [[FIFA]], the international governing body of football, and the [[Asian Football Federation]] (AFF). Football is the second most popular sport in India after cricket. In states such as [[West Bengal]] and [[Karnataka]], both football and cricket are equally popular, while football is the dominant sport, more popular than cricket, in [[Kerala]], [[Goa]], [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]] and [[Northeast India]].

Although India has never played in any [[FIFA World Cup]]s, India qualified for the [[1950 FIFA World Cup]] in [[Brazil]]. However, the country did not participate because the team was not allowed to play barefoot. Another excuse that was cited was that the AIFF did not have money to travel to Brazil that time.<ref>{{cite web |first=Arunava |last=Chaudhuri |url=http://www.indianfootball.de/data/worldcupq.html |title=The Indian National Team's World Cup qualifying |publisher=Indianfootball.de |access-date=1 March 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100614204013/http://www.indianfootball.de/data/worldcupq.html |archive-date=14 June 2010 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=":7" /> The barefoot excuse was false, according to a 19 July 2011 ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' article.<ref name=":7" /> FIFA was ready to give money to the Indian team to travel to Brazil for the World Cup, thus invalidating the money excuse. The barefoot excuse was a "historical blunder" done by AIFF according to the book ''Box to box: 75 years of the Indian football team'', authored by sports journalist [[Jaydeep Basu]]. In his book, he revealed that the Indian football team did not play 1950 FIFA World Cup because of "ignorance, short-sightedness, lack of confidence, and misplaced priorities on behalf of the All India Football Federation".<ref name=":7">{{Cite web |date=19 July 2011 |title=Did India withdraw from the 1950 World Cup because they were not allowed to play barefoot? |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/blogs/sports-now/story/2011-07-19/did-india-withdraw-from-the-1950-world-cup-because-they-were-not-allowed-to-play-barefoot#:~:text=SOCCER%2FFOOTBALL%20LEGEND%3A%20India%20withdrew,not%20allowed%20to%20play%20barefoot.&text=India%20surprised%20the%20world%20with,Summer%20Olympics%20in%20London%2C%20England. |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221111124551/https://www.latimes.com/archives/blogs/sports-now/story/2011-07-19/did-india-withdraw-from-the-1950-world-cup-because-they-were-not-allowed-to-play-barefoot#:~:text=SOCCER%2FFOOTBALL%20LEGEND%3A%20India%20withdrew,not%20allowed%20to%20play%20barefoot.&text=India%20surprised%20the%20world%20with,Summer%20Olympics%20in%20London%2C%20England. |archive-date=11 November 2022 |access-date=11 November 2022 |website=Los Angeles Times}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Why India did not compete in the 1950 football World Cup (and no, it wasn't because they didn't have boots) |url=https://www.indianexpress.com/article/sports/football/why-india-did-not-compete-in-the-1950-football-world-cup-and-no-it-wasnt-because-they-didnt-have-boots-8260087/lite/ |website=www.indinexpress.com |date=10 November 2022 |access-date=11 November 2022 |archive-date=11 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221111143146/https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/football/why-india-did-not-compete-in-the-1950-football-world-cup-and-no-it-wasnt-because-they-didnt-have-boots-8260087/lite/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

[[File:Wrestling in india.jpg|thumb|left|[[Military World Games]] in [[Hyderabad, India]].]]

Considered one of the most ancient and oldest sports in the world, [[wrestling]] in India has a glorious past. The sport of wrestling began its journey in India several centuries ago, during the [[Middle Ages]]. Wrestling is among the most prestigious and oldest events in the [[Olympic Games]]. It was included in the Olympics in 708 BC. In ancient times, wrestling in India was mainly used as a way to stay physically fit. It was also used as a [[military exercise]] without any weapons. Wrestling in India is also known as ''dangal,'' and it is the basic form of a wrestling tournament.

In India, wrestling is mostly known as ''Malla-Yuddha''. Wrestling was mentioned in ancient times, found in the [[Sanskrit]] epic of [[Indian history]], ''[[Mahabharata]]''. One of the premier characters in Mahabharata, [[Bhima]], was considered a great wrestler. Other great wrestlers included [[Jarasandha]], [[Duryodhana]], and [[Karna]]. Another Indian epic, [[Ramayana]], also mentions wrestling in India, describing [[Hanuman]] as one of the greatest wrestlers of that time. The 13th-century ''[[Malla Purana]]'' references a group of [[Gujarati people|Gujarati]] [[Brahmin]] wrestlers known as [[Jyesthimalla]]s.

=== Canoeing and Kayaking ===
India has won two bronze medals in canoeing at the [[India at the Asian Games|Asian Games]].

;Flat water and sea kayaking
Indian flat water [[kayak]]ers are an emerging powerhouse on the Asian circuit. Outside of professional flat water [[kayaking]], there is very limited recreational kayaking. The potential to generate interest in flat water kayaking is held by leisure [[resort]]s located near the sea or other water bodies. Indian tourists tend to consider kayaking a one-time activity, rather than a sport to be pursued.

;Whitewater kayaking
Enthusiasts of [[whitewater]] kayaking are concentrated in the north towards the [[Himalayas]], with some in the south in Bangalore in [[Karnataka]]. Most of these enthusiasts are or were whitewater raft guides who took to the sport of whitewater kayaking. Some of the prominent whitewater kayakers include Abhinav Kala, Shalabh Gahlaut, and John Pollard. Many of them have notched first descents (similar to climbing ascents) on rivers in India and Nepal.

"Bangalore Kayakers" or "Southern River Runners" are India's first amateur group of white water kayakers. Based out of Bangalore, they explore rivers around [[Western Ghats]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=149952787372&ref=ts |title=Niet compatibele browser |publisher=Facebook |access-date=1 August 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150317213745/https://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=149952787372&ref=ts |archive-date=17 March 2015 |url-status=live}}</ref> The lure for most of these participants is adventure. Whitewater kayaking in India allows for exploration of places where, literally, no human has been before.

Gear availability is a problem that plagues kayakers. While the global designs for whitewater boats and paddles change annually, Indian kayakers have to pay high fees if they want to import any kind of gear, or they have to buy used gear in Nepal. More often than not, one will see Indian kayaking guides riding down the river in a Perception Amp, Piroutte or Dancer designs, while the kayakers from abroad ride the river in their new design, planing hull, centred-volume kayaks from Riot, Pyranha, or Wave Sport.

Kayaking India groups on Facebook are good resources for kayakers in India.

It soon grew into something a lot more, with an eclectic riding community in 2008 wanting to participate. The community soon assembled, made plans, chose a route and realised they would need a framework to support such a large group of people. So they recruited sponsors to mitigate costs as well as popularise the Tour and the cause of popularising cycling as a viable and sustainable means of travel. Ever since its first edition, the TfN has stayed true to the Community of Cyclists in India by being a Tour for the Community, Of the Community and By the Community. It has grown in size, stature and visibility. From 40 riders in the first edition, it has grown to 100 cyclists in 2013.{{Tone inline|date=November 2022}}

The tour has grown bigger and the routes tougher, allowing cyclists to test their endurance, enjoy the biodiversity of the Nilgiris covering the southern states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. For the racing aficionados, there are racing segments on the tour with colour coded jerseys, recognition and prizes. TfN as it is lovingly called is pushing cycling to new frontiers with more and more interested cyclists, applying for the tour. The tour has acquired quite a name, and currently about 25% of registrations are selected for the tour by the organisers.{{Citation needed|date=November 2022}}{{Tone inline|date=November 2022}}

{{Further|Category:Sports television networks in India|Category:English-language television stations in India|label1=List of sports TV channels in India|label2=List of English language TV channels in India}}{{Further|Sports broadcasting contracts in India|Television in India}}

Major sports television networks include [[Star Sports (Indian TV network)|Star Sports]], [[Sony Sports Network|Sony Sports]], [[Sports18]], [[Eurosport (Indian TV channel)|Eurosport India]], [[1Sports]], [[DD Sports]]. Historically, [[Doordarshan]] was the only broadcaster of multinational sports events and cricket in the country. In 1992, the government began giving licences for private television channels to be started. [[Star Sports (Indian TV network)|Star Sports]] is the first 24 hours sports channel in the country, with many foreign and Indian organisations starting dedicated sports channels later on. In recent years after 3G and 4G networks launched and became widespread in India, [[Over-the-top media services in India|OTT]] (online streaming) apps became a big thing and the OTT market became very competitive. Indian sports broadcasters spend more on cricket then other sports. According to ''GroupM ESP's Sporting Nation'' report, in 2021, 444 endorsement deals happened, with 318 of them being signed by cricketers. In 2020, Indian sports industry spent 9,500 crore rupees, which it superseded in 2021 by a growth of 62%. Various companies spend a huge amount of money on advertising by signing various sports players for themselves such as Neeraj Chopra, PV Sindhu, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli etc.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.financialexpress.com/brandwagon/indian-sports-industry-spends-surpassed-rs-9500-crore-in-2021-report/2471552/ | title=Indian sports industry spends surpassed Rs 9,500 crore in 2021: Report | date=25 March 2022 | access-date=3 November 2022 | archive-date=3 November 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221103152119/https://www.financialexpress.com/brandwagon/indian-sports-industry-spends-surpassed-rs-9500-crore-in-2021-report/2471552/ | url-status=live }}</ref>

'''Lala Amarnath Bharadwaj''' (11 September 1911 – 5 August 2000) is considered to be the father figure of Indian cricket. He scored the first ever century for India in Test Cricket in 1933 <ref>{{cite web |title=Full Scorecard of India vs England 1st Test 1933/34 – Score Report {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/england-tour-of-india-1933-34-61789/india-vs-england-1st-test-62616/full-scorecard |access-date=2022-05-04 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> He was independent India's first cricket captain and captained India in their first Test series win [[Pakistani cricket team in India in 1952–53|against Pakistan in 1952]].<ref name="Bio">{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/26223.html |title=Lala Amarnath|access-date=12 May 2020 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>

He played only three Test Matches before [[World War II]] (India played no official Test matches during the war). During this time he amassed around 10,000 runs with 30 hundreds in first-class cricket which included teams from Australia and England. After the war, he played another 21 Test Matches for India. He later became the chairman of the Senior Selection Committee, [[Board of Cricket Control in India|BCCI]] and was also a commentator and expert. His proteges include [[Chandu Borde]], [[M.L. Jaisimha]], and [[Jasu Patel]] who played for India. His sons [[Surinder Amarnath|Surinder]] and [[Mohinder Amarnath]] also became Test players for India. His grandson Digvijay is also a current first-class player. The [[Government of India]] awarded him the civilian honour of the [[Padma Bhushan]] in 1991.<ref name="Padma Awards">{{cite web|url=http://mha.nic.in/sites/upload_files/mha/files/LST-PDAWD-2013.pdf |title=Padma Awards |publisher=Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India |date=2015 |access-date=21 July 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151015193758/http://mha.nic.in/sites/upload_files/mha/files/LST-PDAWD-2013.pdf |archive-date=15 October 2015 }}</ref> Amarnath received the inaugural [[C.

==Early life==

Amarnath was born in an impoverished [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]]-speaking [[Brahmin]] family<ref>{{cite web |last=Bhalerao |first=Sarang |title=Lala Amarnath – the life and times of a legend |url=https://www.sportskeeda.com/cricket/lala-amarnath-the-life-and-times-of-a-legend |access-date=2022-01-12 |website=Sportskeeda |language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last1=Stern |first1=John |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ne8EAQAAQBAJ&dq=Lala+Amarnath+punjabi&pg=PA865 |title=The Essential Wisden: An Anthology of 150 Years of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack |last2=Williams |first2=Marcus |date=2014-01-07 |publisher=A&C Black |isbn=978-1-4081-7896-6 |pages=865 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Astill |first=James |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6IRVMNzNJpIC&dq=Lala+Amarnath+punjabi&pg=PT49 |title=The Great Tamasha: Cricket, Corruption and the Turbulent Rise of Modern India |date=2013-07-04 |publisher=A&C Black |isbn=978-1-4081-9220-7 |language=en}}</ref> of [[Kapurthala|Kapurthala, Punjab]]. Recognizing his talent in [[Lahore]], a [[Muslims|Muslim]] cricketing household adopted Amarnath.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/tns/detail/668924-the-twenty-two-families-of-pakistan-test-cricket-part-iii |title=The Twenty Two Families of Pakistan Test Cricket – Part III | Sports |work=The News International|location=Pakistan |date=2020-06-07 |accessdate=2022-09-04}}</ref> He played his debut match [[English cricket team in India in 1933–34|against England in 1933]] on the [[Bombay Gymkhana]] grounds in [[South Bombay]]. Amarnath also played for the Hindus in the [[Bombay Quadrangular]]. Aside from being a batsman, Lala Amarnath was also a [[Bowler (cricket)|bowler]], the only one to dismiss [[Donald Bradman]] [[hit wicket]].

==Test career ==

In [[English cricket team in India in 1933-34|1933's England's tour]] of India, Lala Amarnath was leading run-scorer. In the series he created history by scoring first ever Test 100 by an Indian batsman at Bombay.<ref>{{Cite web |title= भारताचे पहिले कसोटी शतकवीर कोण, तुम्हाला माहित आहेत का?|date=11 September 2018 |url=https://www.lokmat.com/cricket/news/do-you-know-who-was-indias-first-test-centurion/}}</ref>

Amarnath was controversially sent back from the [[Indian cricket team in England in 1936|1936 tour of England]] by the captain, the [[Maharajkumar of Vizianagram]], for "indiscipline".<ref>{{cite web|last=Lynch|first=Steven|title=You're fired|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/625483.html|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=14 April 2013}}</ref> Amarnath and others allege it was due to politics. Vizzy, the Maharajkumar of Vizianagram, was named the captain for [[Indian cricket team]] for the 1936 tour of [[English cricket team|England]], a post that he secured after lobbying and manipulation. Some of the senior players in the squad, including Lala Amarnath, [[C. K. Nayudu]] and [[Vijay Merchant]], were critical of Vizzy's playing abilities and captaincy, and the team was split between those who supported and criticised the captain. During India's match against Minor Counties at [[Lord's]] Lala Amarnath had been nursing a back injury during the game. Vizzy had Amarnath's pad up but did not put him in to bat as a succession of other batsmen were sent in ahead of him, which prevented Amarnath from resting his injury. Amarnath was finally put in to bat at the end of the day. Visibly angry after returning to the dressing room, he threw his kit into his bag and muttered in Punjabi, "''I know what is transpiring''". Vizzy took this as an affront and conspired with team manager Major Jack Brittain-Jones to have Lala Amarnath sent back from the tour without playing the first test match.<ref name="ci-royalmess">{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/columns/content/story/303898.html|title=A right royal Indian mess|access-date=12 May 2020 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> It is also alleged that in the first test against the [[England cricket team|England]], Vizzy offered [[Mushtaq Ali]] a gold watch to run out [[Vijay Merchant]].<ref name="ci-royalmess" />

==Captain and manager==

Lala Amarnath was the [[Captain (cricket)|captain]] of the Indian team that toured [[Indian cricket team in Australia in 1947–48|Australia in 1947-1948]]. When the [[Partition of India]] took place in August 1947, Amarnath and his family had to flee the city to escape a Muslim mob. He lived in [[Patiala]] in the [[Indian state]] of Punjab till 1957, when he moved to the capital, [[Delhi]]. Lala Amarnath had received his education at [[Aligarh Muslim University]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Academics {{ndash}} Centres {{ndash}} Games Committee |work=[[Aligarh Muslim University]] |url=http://www.amu.ac.in/nonacademic.jsp?did=10023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130403050028/http://www.amu.ac.in/nonacademic.jsp?did=10023 |archive-date= 3 April 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Amarnath is widely respected for reaching out to bridge the divide between players and fans of India and Pakistan, caused by political tensions between the two countries.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/84927.html |title=Amarnath's death a sad moment in cricket |first=Omar |last=Kureishi |publisher=ESPNcricinfo|date=9 August 2000 |access-date=14 January 2013}}</ref> Under his leadership, India won its first-ever Test against [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] in [[Feroze Shah Kotla Stadium|Delhi]] in 1952 and went on to win the series 2–1. Amarnath also managed the team when it toured [[Indian cricket team in Pakistan in 1954–55|Pakistan in 1954-55]].

==Family and legacy==

His sons [[Mohinder Amarnath|Mohinder]] and [[Surinder Amarnath|Surinder]] also played cricket for India and another son [[Rajinder Amarnath|Rajinder]] played [[first-class cricket]] while his grandson Digvijay is also a first-class player. Throughout his twilight years, Amarnath was considered a living legend of Indian cricket.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketer/content/story/141740.html |title=India's most legendary of figures |publisher=ESPNcricinfo|date=August 1994 |access-date=14 January 2013}}</ref>

Mohinder played the role of his father in the 2021 sports drama ''[[83 (film)|83]]'', while Mohinder himself was portrayed by [[Saqib Saleem]]. Both of them had previously shared screen space in the 2016 action comedy ''[[Dishoom]]''.
