Cricket
Cricket is the only sport in the world that has gentlemanly conduct written into the laws. Part of my gospel is: It's the game first; then it's the team; then it's the player. You're last. And don't ever forget it - Alfred Reeves

Sports and spirituality: How cricket teaches you the power of devotion
‘Life is a game, play it’ and cricket is a great example. The three stumps behind the batsman that he guards are the three aspects of your personality — physical self, psychological self and spiritual self. The batsman is the Jeevatma, or individual soul, who wields the bat of the mind. If he does not know how to use this bat of the mind, he cannot do much to protect himself and his own mind destroys him.
Every ball faced by the batsman is a situation presented to him in the game of life. A good batsman is one who has control over his mind. Only then will he succeed in the game of life!
