I don’t understand why you included minority versions like 3x3 basketball or softball. They aren’t in the top10 sports. Rugby for example is x3 times the value of being champion in Field Hockey. Actually it looks like considering ice hockey and field hockey the same sport.
But If you are going to do, there are other varieties of football for example five-a-side (futsal) and beach football.
Also surprised team tennis isn’t in the top10

Regarding tennis, there are only team sports in this chart and no individual sports, even if they have team competitions there, its not considered as a team sport.
For the definition of team sports I refer to wikipedia:
