Cricket was on top between 1984-1992. I think Indian world cup victory in 1983 played a major part in popularizing the game in that country.

Taking a wild guess why football "exploded" in the 60s and the 90s. The 60s because some international cups kicked off big time then (Champions Cup, Copa Libertadores, Eurocup) and the WC qualifiers changed (Africa joined in, North America split from South America, more countries started participating)
The 90s because Havelange started the proper globalisation of the game: expanded amount of WC teams twice, took WC to USA, took Intercontinental Cup to Japan and YWCs to Australia, Africa, Asia, North America, etc.

Amazed to see that cricket was more popular than football in most of its history.

Who are all these people that watch hockey? I've been on the earth 52 years and nobody has ever spoken to me about watching a hockey match or have ever told me the name of a hockey player who inspired them.

Was Cricket not colonized by ICC(BCCI- india) it would have been more globalized and could be no. 1.

Cricket is only famous in india and its nearby country.

India is the most populous country in the world and that is why cricket has so many fans.

Cricket is just summer game in Australia and New Zealand.

Australian football is most famous sport in Australia.

Football(Soccer) is most famous in England and South Africa.

Rugby is most famous sport in New Zealand.

So is "Hockey" Ice Hockey? Since you used a puck as the icon. Or is it field hockey since that is actually what is popular around the world? Or do you just count both together for this chart?
