As an Indian, of course the biggest sports here is Cricket, and I played and watched it for a long time. I've lost interest in the limited over formats (ODI or T20; I'll still catch occasional games though). If it's a test series between one of the top 4, I'll probably watch.
Football (or soccer) is my favorite sport though. In PL, Man City is my favorite team to watch. Admittedly, I started following them when I first played FIFA 06, so it's been like 13 years I've been following PL, plus the obnoxious Man Utd fans of my neighbourhood with there songs of history drove me even further towards the other side of Manchester. Happy to see them doing so well this season and with Guardiola at helm, I can see consistent success.
While ISL has tried to change the face of Football in India, it's still in its infancy and the lack of star power has plagued it since last season. The biggest star playing in the league is Berbatov, I believe, but most games are of poor quality, especially when you watch a superior European product. I really hope at some point my city gets a franchise in so that I can get a team to cheer in the ISL.
Tennis is another sport I sporadically follow, mostly the grandslams.
Never understood American Football or Baseball.
