The
first Indian community to start playing the game 'cricket' was the Parsis. But
Indians were considered to have no talents for the games. When the Parsis

surface. The colonical authorities favoured their own countrymen. When it was cleared
to the Parsis, they built their own gymkhana, 'the Parsis Gymkhana.'
