In India, cricket's dominion is unassailable, a fact underscored by the Indian Premier League (IPL)'s status as the world's second-most lucrative sports league, after America's National Football League. Following closely, the Women's Premier League (WPL) and the Indian Street Premier League signal cricket's unwavering appeal. Yet, intriguingly, the IPL's colossal success is catalysing a renaissance in domestic sports leagues across a spectrum of disciplines, from hockey and football to indigenous pursuits like kabaddi and kho kho.Despite cricket devouring a lion's share of sports-related financial inflows-87% of expenditures on advertising, sponsorships, and endorsements last year, a slight dip from 88% in 2021-the landscape is gradually diversifying. This shift is partly due to initiatives by conglomerates like JSW Sports, which is diversifying its portfolio to include non-cricket leagues, betting on the expanding pie for alternative sports.However, the burgeoning sports league ecosystem faces formidable challenges. The paramount necessity for a league's success is the calibre of its talent pool; Indian leagues struggle to match the allure of their international counterparts, with notable exceptions like kabaddi, where the premier league represents the pinnacle of the sport. Furthermore, the governance of these leagues and their economic viability-manifested through salary caps, production quality, and marketing-are critical to their endurance and appeal.Another pivotal aspect for the sustained growth of non-cricket sports is the creation and nurturing of a culture of physical activity. Disparities between the fervour for viewing sports and actual participation are stark, with a survey revealing a significant gap between cricket enthusiasts and active players. This discrepancy extends to other sports, exacerbated by the worrying statistic that three-quarters of Indian adolescents lead sedentary lives. For the non-cricket sports boom to be more than a fleeting phenomenon, India must foster a generation that not only reveres its sports heroes from the comfort of their homes but also actively engages in physical pursuits. The challenge lies not just in elevating the profile of diverse sports but in cultivating a culture that celebrates and partakes in them.Q 8.   Which of the following words can best replace the word "unassailable" in the first sentence of the passage?a)  Inviolableb)  Irreplaceablec)  Indomitabled)  Immutable
