Top 5 Non-Olympic sports India has done well in

#4 Snooker

Pankaj Advani is an 18 time World Snooker Champion

Cue sports have been very popular among India's elites for quite some time, but professional players have been few and far between. But those who have ventured into the sport have made India proud internationally repeatedly.

Pankaj Advani has been one of the flag-bearers of Indian cue sports for several decades now and he has inspired a whole generation to the table with his nonchalant approach to the breaks. His multiple medals at Asian Games along with Geet Sethi have brought laurels to the nation over the years.

On the women's side, Vidya Pillai has been ranked as high as No. 2 in the world rankings and is still active on the circuit. Given their relative age, however, most of these stalwarts won't be active come 2032 but the generation they have initiated into the sport would like to forward the legacy they have left behind.
