This study aimed to investigate the correlation between self-control and emotional intelligence (EI) among inter-university cricket players in Lucknow. A total of 120 participants were chosen from diverse academies in Lucknow, all of whom had actively participated in inter-university cricket tournaments. The age range of the selected participants was between 19 and 25 years. Data collection involved the utilization of the self-control questionnaire developed by Tangney, J.P., Baumeister, R.F., Boone, and A.L., as well as the EI questionnaire from Wong and Law EI Scale. Statistical analysis of the collected data was conducted using the Pearson correlation two-tailed test. The study's results revealed a normal positive linear correlation between self-control and EI among the cricket players. In conclusion, the findings suggest that cricket players who possess self-control also exhibit a commendable level of emotional intelligence.
