In India cricket is not just any other game, but rather it is worshipped as a religion. From a very young age, kids are taught the basics of cricket and the first thing they play with is a bat and a ball. Whether a person in India is a fan of cricket or not, they will definitely know something or the other about the ‘men in blue’ and their equally gorgeous better-halves.
