Cricket is a sport which has been lately gathering a lot of popularity in Nepal. After the Nepal first played the world Cup, everyone in Nepal is a cricket fan. The credit bringing this "gentleman's sport" to Nepal goes to HH Madan Shumsher JBR, the son of Shree Teen Maharaj Chandra Shumsher JBR. He introduced this game to Nepal for the very first time during the Rana rule in Nepal. Even though there weren't many cricketing competitions during that time and cricket was only limited among royalty, it didn't become popular until the advent of democracy in 1951
