Usain Bolt feels that India is all about cricket

Usain Bolt has an interesting take on why, despite producing successful cricketers, India has not been able to produce any globally famous athletes
Speaking at a press conference here, 'Lightning' Bolt said, "What I feel is that it is all about the main sport of a country. India is all about cricket and more youngsters here want to play cricket. A lot may have the talent to be athletes but they won't find out because in their heads, they want to play cricket.
However, in Jamaica, everybody wants to run. I guess it's all about making a sport attractive to the younger generation and for them to actually want to compete.
