India has the world's largest population. In addition, the country is also home to some of the craziest cricket enthusiasts on the planet. Over several generations, many would migrate overseas and settle in foreign countries in search of a better life.
While a few were voluntarily moved out of India by the European powers to work as indentured laborers in their respective colonies around the globe. From the exotic paradise of the Caribbean and North America to remote regions of Oceania, the influence of Indian origin people is omnipresent in every culture and pocket of the world.
