Street Cricket, Kolkata

This video presents young people playing cricket in the streets of Kolkata (Calcutta), West Bengal state of India. Street cricket or gali cricket is a minimized version of international cricket and the people play the game in the streets.

It is very common in India as cricket has now become an all pervading game in the country. The traffic on the streets will not affect the match and the players stand aside for the traffic to pass during the game.

If there is any strike, then it is a good day for the street cricketers as there will be no traffic on the roads.
